Thanks, it's just for debugging. Printing some pdf files with acroread makes some printers hang here. To locate the problem source, I'd like to check if the printer works if it gets the postscript or pdf-file (there printer is assumed to accept postscript level 3). I hope to use pyusb to print to a USB printer. There is a new version 1.0.0a0 on sourceforge. Some of my network printers accept file submission via ftp. But what for the other ones?
