CUPS has a rule to send raw binary data directly to the device without interpreting it first. If this device emulates a printer at the USB level, it ought to work. At worst, you may have to add the -oraw option or add a rule to /usr/share/cups/mime/mime.convs to force cups to treat the data as "raw binary" (instead of text, for example) so it's sent directly to the printer instead of being rasterized first. >>> Dan
