Hello Listers! I used to have similar problems with my Duo 230. Sometimes if I had used it to print connected directly to the modem/printer port, then re-attached it to the dock and tried to print, the printer (then a CSW 2400) would act like it was about to print, then just sit there. I found that if I switched the printer cable over to the modem port, voila, it worked! If I checked the chooser, I would find that it was indeed set to the _printer_ port. Go figure... Try plugging the printer into the "wrong" port when this happens and see if it works. Of course, this workaround only works if you don't have a modem connected to the modem port. I don't have these problems anymore, now that my Duo is hooked up to my printers on an Appletalk network.
