Hey, What type of printer interface/language does FreeDOS support? Does it support PCL ver3? For example, would I be able to use an HP Deskjet 950c ( http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=bpd07350cc=usdlc=enlc=enproduct=57835 ) with FreeDOS? Thanks for the help,

--- Was the printer both plugged in and powered on? The most likely problem is that you have more than one USB host controller. If you simply do a USBUHCI or USBUHCIL to install the driver for the USB host controller, it will only install the driver for the first host controller (Index 0).
