Bought a HP Deskjet 3420, and a USB 2.0 cable. Boot my Pentium up than connect the printer's USB cable but PC did not detect. Through packaging stuff even box it came in. Left is only the printer cable and drivers. Check specs on the web and found out it's a USB 2.0 printer. Question: Does that mean I have to get a USB 2.0 card for my PC?

Yes. I check and it's enabled. I haven't try using another usb cable yet. I use a usb mouse to test the port and it detected it right away but when I plugged the printer, nothing. Even after I install the drivers and software the setup can't detect the printer either.

Totally remove the printer and all drivers and any operating programs for the printer.. Now, shut the system down and unplug the printer.
Boot up.. Now, load just the drivers and printer utility program.. Once that is done, shutdown again. Now plug the printer in and fire up again..
See how that works.
