USB/Printer Driver problems.

Damn.
Just bought a new printer... works off USB.
Because my computer was custom-built by someone else, I don't have the Windows XP Pro CD. When I try to install my printer software and drivers, it says to connect the printer. I connect it, but I don't have the correct USB drivers, so my computer doesn't detect the printer. Anybody have any solutions?

Could you be a little more specific please? Which printer, brand and model number? Does the USB port work with other USB devices? Is it possible to contact the build and obtain the drivers? If not can you find out what brand/model number of motherboard you have?

If you know the motherboard brand/model then you should be able to get usb drivers online...
