Re: [Digital BW] IJC/ OPM_windows some more questions to decide

2005-01-05 by Peter Marshall

Joe,

My rather tentative conclusion was based just on a single machine, but 
your answer does suggest that LIBUSB is rather hardware-sensitive, at 
least on W2000.

Again my comment on XP was also based on a sample of one machine of the 
two I have running XP, and LIBUSB installed without any problem. It is 
however a machine with less USB devices connected - one of my next jobs 
is to move a printer there (or buy a new one), as I'd forgotten the USB 
printer I use from this machine is actually installed elsewhere on the 
network. XP prints to it without problems over a 100Mbps link, but 
IJC/OPM can't see it.

Regards,

Peter
