Digital BW, The Print

Richard,

I'm not at home on my XP machine so not sure if I'll get this sequence correct, but...

Go into the Control Panel, Printers, and right-click on your 2200, then, select Properties. Click the "Port" tab and find the checked box which will show the USB port Windoze has assigned to your printer (yeah, even though this is a virtual port!). On my machine it's USB003. This port id is what has to be entered into the Local box for IP.

As for the time delay you seem to be having between clicking print and the printer supposedly starting to print, something is strange here. Dunno what size files your sending, but I was sending 20-30MB files and the printer started printing within secs of clicking the Print button. I doubt that ColorByte would provide any support to someone looking at an eval. From what I've read they're not really big on support even if you've bought the software! If you downloaded the eval from Calumet (which you probably did because I don't know of any other download available), I would try them. I dealt with Rick Dean, there, and he was very helpful. Actually, I believe it was my conversations with Rick that got the eval link on the website in the first place.

Good luck,
Alan Huntley
