USB Monitor problem

Hey folks,

My usb connections on my monitor wont work, and ever since i connected a printer to my mac via the tower, how do i fix the usb connections on my monitor so they will work again, i want to be able to connect my mouse and keyboard to my monitor. And ive no idea what to do?

What monitor are you using?
Are the ports USB 1.1 or 2.0?
It's possible that the printer is drawing too much power from the computer and overloading it to the point where the monitor's ports won't get enough 'juice' to work.
You would have to get a powered USB hub to compensate for this, if that is the case.

im not too sure m8, but if the usb stops working on the monitor how do i fix it?

Always best to connect to either the computer or second best a mains powered USB hub. Using the monitor USB ports can be very much hit and miss.
