close. There is another difference, which is that the much greater 
speed means that your computer will spend much less time feeding bits 
to your printer, so it will be more responsive if you are doing 
something else processor intensive while printing, like editing your 
next image. 

Thanks, I will keep the printers on USB1.1 as I have the printing set 
to lock the PC until the spool is written and printing started, after 
which I regain control of the PC(correction - no I never have control 
of my PC... butsometimes it allows me acces?!).  I can't remember how 
I did this.

I removed my scanners from the desktop and have them run from a 
notebook saving to external HDD on USB2.  I then link that HDD to the 
USB 2.2 on my desktop PC for file transfer. 

I really appreciated your advice, thanks.
