It appears that the USB code that checks to see what kind of device is on the USB cannot distinguish this printer as a printer (hence the ugen). I have not been able to get this to print. Can you attach it using a parallel cable? That's what I finally did as I do not have the time right now to hack the USB code. ~Rik On Thu, 28 Mar 2002, vsk@globalalania.ru wrote: > Could u help me to solve the problem?
