Dear Richard, I would hope a modified printer wouldn't cost $1,000. If they modified a printer which didn't require Windows software but required USB connection, a parallel port could replace the USB or even a parallel/USB adapter could be created so the cable could be plugged into the printer and the BN.
In the case of my printer, which happens to be a LaserJet 1012, there would need to be a way to get around the use of plug-in software plus modifying the USB connection. I wonder if software could be created which would be embeded into the BN and then the necessary cable connection would have to be created. Perhaps PDI could modify a model of printer which could easily be done without too much expense and make a deal with one of the printer manufacturers so that they could continue to obtain those printers, and its parts, even if the model should be discontinued for the general public. Anyway, I'd like to hear from PDI about how they plan to make the BN accessible to more printers. I also would like to know if PDI plans to create 1-inch margins so that KeyWord documents would automatically have a 1-inch margin on the top, bottom, left and right so the printed document would have even margins.
