Not one of the suggestions made have even come close to solving this. Connecting via the parallel port works perfectly first time every time, but I don't want it connected by the parallel port if I can help it, that will be connected to the Aurora as this printer can auto detect which port is trying to print at the time. But even if that can't be made to work (even though it should I don't seriously expect it to) I want to free up the parallel port for my scanner and zip drive, and although it all works with a printer on the end of it, I think the cable lengths are probably causing occasional small losses of data.
At this stage I'd be pretty happy if I could just get it working via USB, without anything else too clever on the system! Email sent to Epson tech support to see if they know of a reason why their software can't find USB printers or install their 'USB printer port' drivers as their own books say they ought to be able to. -- Dilwyn Jones _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List
