Solved: Convert USB 1 To USB 2
My friend has an old computer running XP pro. He only has USB 1. If I fitted a USB 2.0 PCI Card would this enable him to run he's printer which needs USB 2. I said it would but I don't want to buy it and find out I'm talking rubbish.
Hope someone can help.

If it meets the USB 2.0 spec and it states it on the packaging it should work without an issue.
