I think your problem is related to your drivers rather than USB speed. The driver that controls your USB to parallel port and your printer driver capable of using such adapter (a lot of old printer drivers don't support this). ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tina Bird" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Libretto" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, January 21, 2002 12:48 PM Subject: [LIB] P-330 USB connection > Date: Mon, 21 Jan 2002 10:25:25 -0600 (CST) > From: Tina Bird <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: P-330 USB connection > > So, does anyone out there have any ideas about > how to >slow down< a USB connection?
