multiple USB hubs, we recommend that you connect the printer to the first-tier hub.

Your computer must have one of the operating systems supported by this printer pre-installed, or be a
model upgraded from Windows 2000, XP, Vista, Server 2003, or Server 2008 to an operating system
supported by this printer. You must not be able to install or run the USB printer driver on a computer
that does not meet these specifications or that is not equipped with a built-in USB port.
