This is what I got from Canon on using their USB printers with USB cards...
I suppose I could buy one and test it myself, but if it doesn't work?? -- Joshua ------ Forwarded Message From: Canon eCare <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: Canon eCare <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Sun, 22 Feb 2004 09:51:33 -0500 To: Joshua Yeidel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: - Looking Dear Joshua Yeidel, Thank you for writing to us. Unfortunately, Canon does not recommend connecting the printers to a add-in card as it has not been tested. You can look at any current USB printer however since they all will work on Mac OS 9.1 and have USB ports. For further assistance, please call our Canon Presales Department at 1(800)652-2666 between 8:00 am and midnight ET, 7 days. The presales agents will assist you with product information and dealer locations. For further information, please visit the Canon website at http://www.usa.canon.com/html/index1.jsp.
