Any help on this one from the Sun Ray community? I think Sun Rays are a fantastic solution for our retailers and catalogers when they need point-of-sale / customer service terminals - but we would really appreciate any input we could get about the problems we have been facing with USB attached printers (both direct and spooled).
Thanks in advance!
