Marcia, My syslog didn't have any of the errors that you reported. USB appeared to load up just fine. I can see the printer with PrinterDrake as well as USBView. Everything comes through except printouts. Apparently a whole host of problems result in similar behavior. I'll keep

Wrongo! I thought I had it solved as I got a test page. That was all I got. Everything else gets stuck in queue with usb port busy error. Any ideas at all? I'm just about to dust off my 8.2 disks. It's a shame too, as there's a lot to like in 9.0. Linus On Sunday 06 October 2002 11:37
