Hi Ben,
thanks for your quick answer.
I understand from some connector and signal drawings documents I found at
Palm's site that the PDA USB is SLAVE, so as you mention some controller
sould be used. The printer I am trying to use is compatible with many other
PDAs with OS 5, including Tungsten and Zire 71, but not with Zire 31, so I
guess the problem is not a software but a hardware problem with the USB
connector.

That?s why I am trying to find the connector signal specification document
for Zire 31, to compare and see where the difference is and try to make a
custom cable.

Regards

Oscar

The Zire 31 just has a USB mini-B connector.  This is USB Device mode only,
so to hook up to a USB printer, you'll need some controller in the middle
of the connection that acts as a USB host for both the printer and the Zire
31.
