HP says that their current ink-jet printers require built-in USB. I think it is actually a printer driver problem, not a printer problem (not that that makes any real difference to me unless there is an alternative driver somewhere...)
It is possible that USB Adapter Card Support 1.4.1 is not a perfect emulation of the OS hooks in "native" USB, so that driver writers have an additional effort (in testing, at least) that some don't want to make. -- Joshua On 3/12/04 3:15 PM, "Alex Black" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> I have given up trying to get my Canon printer to work on my FrankenMac, >> becasue the printer requires built-in USB and I have a USB card.
