    Is it possible to connect USB 2.0 printer (HP Laserjet 1010) to an older PC, which uses USB 1.1, without upgrading?
    Will the printer work nevertheless?

    Thank you for your answers.

    Will work fine, USB 2.0 and 1.1 devices will work on almost any computer that has at least a 1.0 port, it's just the rate at which the data transfers at that matters, so if updating an ipod on 1.1, it would be faster to update on a 2.0 port.
