Mike, Thanks for a prompt answer! I am going to test the cabling scheme and will send some info by the end of next week. Are you aware how windows implements hw flow control? I read in the wine-devel history a comment that stated that windows might not imlpement hw flow control at all. This intrigues me because the printer does work on windows.
