It is possible to print to a USB connected SP200, but you have: 1. Share it on the network 2. Add the the shared printer as a networked printer 3. Redirect LPT1 to the networked printer from step 2 If you have the ability to just use parallel, I would just do that. It would be MUCH simpler that way.
