Re: HP 820Cse printer problem

[*snicker* <menion mindless com>]

One problem could be that that is a 'WinPrinter' and it requires a
bi-directional printer cable, and that it almost 'demands' to speak with
whatever is printing to it.   I would imagine that that is your
trouble.   the Hp8xxCxx printers are WinPrinters, and designed for
Micro$oft Win95


I don't know if your hopeless yet tho.
