It sounds like the USB 2.0 card does actually work if one of the  
printers will work through it. I assume you bought the cards new or  
as tested, used hardware? I assume also that that one printer works  
on all available USB ports?

As for your SCSI card, a little research has turned up the following:

So, I'd say a new SCSI card is in order. Best to leave the 2906 to a  
different system or a different user.
