Digital BW, The Print

Tom,

I don't know if this will help but...

I tried for two weeks to print using the 2200 shared, a USB 
connection, and the loopback adapter.  I messed with firewalls, 
settings, etc.  Yet I could not make it work and got the 
same "unable to write raster data to driver" message every time.

Stephen then suggested (after version .26) that I attach a parallel 
printer cable to the 2200 (in addition to the USB connection).  I 
gave the parallel connection the "Quad2200" share name. I also 
disabled the loopback adapter.  I did all that today and finally got 
it to work (with all the firewalls enabled.)  Thank goodness...and 
thanks Stephen.
