My compaq B100 small form factor PC with windows 7, shows error triangle on my epson photo stylus R220 and will not print test, it would not work when it had a green check either.  Does it have to be selected to a specific port? The computer did not recognize from usb port, as everything else did, monitor, mouse & keyboard. The printer was not in the list of printers, I had to type it in.  Help!

If it not listed as one of your printers, it isn't installed. Go to control panel, device manager, and see if a printer is installed . It may be there with a yellow triagle with an exclamation mark next to it. If so click on the device, click properties and update driver.You can also uninstall the printer from there. Windows should recognize the device being plugged in and load the drivers for you. You can try a different port. Ports that have not been used sometime get disabled until needed.
