Hi Till

I have my R51 with windows printing with the same cable and printer. Really
had no problems till late in the life of Gutsy, that is where it all started
then Hardy has never worked. Other then reloading differnt OS's nothing else
has happened. I even purchased a new USB to Centronics Parallel cable and
have since purchased a Centronics to serial adapter that will plug into my
T61 (T61 does NOT have a parallel connector anymore...

george

Other then the printer issue hardy is working very well lately...
