A network printer can have many more connections. Most people have a wireless router that allow the whole household to use. The printer must have a unique IP address that was assigned by the router. From there the computer simply pints to that resource (IP via network cable) once it has been installed on each computer or device. Think of like a office setup.
Windows also allows for attached printers to be shared if the printer is not networked directly to the router (USB connected to PC), but the network setup still applies to the computers.
refresh the USB ports:
1. Right click MY COMPUTER
2. Select PROPERTIES
3. Select HARDWARE
4. Select DEVICE MANAGER
5. Select UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS CONTROLLERS
6. Right click on each USB CONTROLLER and select Uninstall
7. Uninstall all entries
8. Reboot your computer
9. As your computer re-boots it will reinstall all USB connections it detects
THEN, when all other USB items have been configured and connected by the system, you then should try connecting your USB drive
