Did the cards documentation say it would work with a Mac. There are
two flavors of USB card, one does work with Macs and one doesn't.
Not all that do say they do though.
If the packaging nor docs say anything you can try looking up the PCI
ID number in System Profiler. There are two four digit numbers.
They are hexadecimal so the letters A-F may be there also. The first
number is the manufacturer ID and the second is the card ID. Try a
web search on the the numbers to find out who makes it and then look
around on their web site to see if the card is Mac compatible.
I believe the two types of cards are identified as EHCI and OHCI but
I don't recall which is which.

What kind of printer? Did you install drivers for it?

Do you have (or can you borrow) a USB keyboard or mouse? Those would
need no drivers so they are a better test of the card.
