Bob, Thank you very much! It's been a long battle against this printer, but with your help I've finally won! After changing the mime.types and mime.convs to include application/octet-stream the Windows machines can print (well, at least one can -- I haven't tried the other, but for all intents and purposes, they're the same). Thanks also to Tim who reminded me of the error_log location. It was clear when I looked at that that it was getting an octet-stream (and even asking if I had that support turned on!). Anyone know if there is a USB printing mini-HOWTO and if not, where should I look to get the info about writing one so I can help others in distress! Thank you both very much again!
