Ya can't!
WindowsNT 4 contains no support for USB.
It never has and never will.
The main reason behind this is NT 4's total lack of plug&play, a feature really required for correct USB opperation.
Some companies have written their own USB stack drivers for WinNT, Epson wrote some for a scanner they released, I also believe HP (Boo Hiss) also released some with one model of printer.
There is no universal USB drivers available, just specific ones for specific devices.

Exactly. There is a product you can pay for but I dunno how good it is. Never seen a review on it. Basically, upgrade to 2000.
