when u bought ur printers and speakers, u should have a disc with it, insert those disc and run the programs again..
it might work then...
if it still doesn't work, try changing around the USB, i know it sounds stupid, but it actually worked, last time when i tried that.

Right click My Computer, click properties, click Hardware, click Device Manager. Check those devices for yellow flags (bad driver) or red flags (device disabled). If the printer is a USB connection, try plugging it into a known good USB port.

Hi. If you use Windows, go to 'Start> Control panel> Add new hardware> '. Run the wizard and see if that works. If not, you'll need to uninstall the devices from the "System> Device manager '. Then reinstall normally. This means both the sound card and the printer. (Always recheck the cables, including power, first!)
