Go into your Device Manager (you didn`t say which OS).
Under USB you should have something like Enhanced Host controller.
That is USB2.
If you haven`t got it, your on USB1.
Normally if you only have USB1, and you plug a USB2 capable
device in, you will be told `this device could perform faster`.

Where is the USB port

It depends what device you are talking about.

If it is a desktop computer, there are usually several USB ports on the back panel where the motherboard's ports come out. Many computers put one or two USB ports on the front panel

If it is a notebook computer, the ports may be on either side of the machine or on the back.

USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports are rectangles about 13mm wide and 5 mm high, these are called USB A Female ports. The ones with blue plastic inserts are USB 3.0 speed. the ones with black inserts are USB 2.0

There is a new USB port called Type C. it is smaller, a slender rounded port about 7mm wide. With the correct cable, you can adapt from USB - C to USB - A type. You will see USB C ports on only the most recent machines

If you are talking about a device like a printer, smartphone or camera, then there is more variability.

USB ports on printers and large external devices tend to be a squarish, 10 mm x 10 mm USB B-Type port, there are 2 versions, USB 2 and USB 3 which has an extension on one edge, These can usually be found on the back panel or at the back of a side panel.

USB ports on most phones and cameras are Micro USB which is about 7mm x 2 mm with one of the long edges bevelled. These are common for charging ports as well as USB data.

A few newer smartphones are using USB Type C ports.

Most Apple iPhones don't use USB at all but use a "Lightning" port.

Older devices may have Mini USB. Some devices that need more power such as external hard drives, mayhave a Micro USB 3.0 which is wider than the MicroUSB and has more contacts.

Cameras often have the ports hidden behind doors or rubber gaskets. Cellphones most commonly have the USB port on the lower edge.

I cant install printer usb port is damage

Hi,
Which USB port Damage because there are two USB port available.
One is Printer USB port or Sec is PC USB port.
If you are say PC USB port not working first you check it USB driver installed or not, or USB connect to motherboard or not. PC there are two side USB available one is front side and sec is back side. You connect only back side, because this USB connect to main board. So you connect only back side. If not working removed driver or installed driver.
Or if you are say printer USB then change cable or port or not solved only change option.

Usb port not working

Printers are particular about which usb port they are plugged into, a virtual printer port is assigned to USB1 in the computer, when you select the printer port for it to use. You may need to plug the printer into each USB port, until you fine the USB port 1 which it works in, remember to always connect it to this same usb port, otherwise it will not work. There is only one USB port number 1.

Why don't my USB ports on my monitor work

1) good USB cable from Monitor USB input port to PC USB port?

2) Check pin 1 of the USB port, you should have 5vdc.

3) Your monitor's USB ports are basically the powered USB hub, but it must be connected to the PC USB port.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO PUT THE USB CONNECTOR

If you only have one USB connector then you can purchase an USB hub which may have 4 or more ports (I suggest you get a powered USB hub). Then plug the hub into the computer's USB port and you now have several USB ports.

When I plug a wireless cable into a USB port, the computer tells me that there are High speed USB ports available but does not inform where to find them.

Right-Click on My Computer, Properties, Device Manager, then Click on Universal Serial Bus Controllers, u will see the USB port available on your computer there. Also, at the same time you are doing this, try checking all the USB ports on your computer...most times, the HIGH-Speed USB Ports (USB 2.0) are always seperated from the other USB ports...so try the USB port seperated from others.
In your own case, Acer TravelMate 2303LCi has just 3 USB slots, a PC card slot, modem and network slot. No floppy drive, no TV-out, no IR, no Wi-Fi. So check-out USB Ports, the USB port infront of the Laptop beside the Audio Port and and the Speaker, on the extreme-right is your USB 2.0 High-Speed Port.

USB ports work at 1.1; s/b 2.0

Your computer is functioning correctly.
The USB ports on your laptop are USB1 ports its pard of the hardware.
Your PCMCIA USB 2 card runs at USB 2 speed and therefore when you connect a USB 2 device to this port you will not get this USB message.
