Hi-
I don't recall seeing any patches that fix the problem with sending huge amounts of data to USB printers. It could have been a host controller driver problem. In fact, that's where I would put my money -- and not a problem with the USB printer driver. Both of the UHCI HCDs have changed a good bit since this problem popped up. I could usually reproduce the problem by tryint to print something like a 100 MB graphic file (one page of fine graphics). ~Randy On Fri, 1 Feb 2002, Stephen J.
