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

2005-01-05 by Joe Berndt

Hello Peter,
I don¹t want to imply that LIBUSB is problematic,  it isn¹t it¹s very
stable. It sometimes likes be installed while no USB devices are running,.
I¹ve never seen a problem with it.

If your printer on XP is connected over Ethernet with a USB link, the
current version of OPM won¹t see it.  OPM 1.0.0 will only work with a USB
printer either directly connected or on a hub.
