Sorry, Renato, I missed the original query due to a holiday break.
The QPCPrint using a USB printer is outside my experience (so far). I will probably be asking all the same questions as you so I will keep the emails relating to this topic. When you've got it all up and working, would you like to write a short article for Quanta Magazine so that others can benefit from your experiences?
