Re: Quadtone RIP for WinXP: "Some level of networking" Question

2004-08-10 by Roy Harrington

Hi Steve,

The networking issue is a real pain.  I wish I knew the definitive
answer.  The main problem is outputing to a usb port.   The standard
i/o allows lpt output but not usb.   This little network sharing work-around 
is all that I've found so far.  I'm trying to find a better solution.
