It's a shame really that the USB->Printer
protocol, is a closed paid for
standard, as it should be really simple to use a USB enabled
microcontroler to sit on the paralell port and interface it to a USB
printer.
You know, I really did prefer it when the printer manual included a
pinout and timing diagram for the (Centronics-ish) interface. There was
no problme driving that from anything I wanted to use with it...
I really wonder how USB has 'improved' things for the likes of us :-)
