Thanks for your suggestions, Ian. I now have it linked to "USB2", I
think, but not through using your program.

O.K.

It dawned on me that I could remove a printer that I no longer use (a
direct connection to my HP2550 - I now get to it via a print server)
and the 1018 has come up as a USB 2. However, If I try to print
something, control is returned, but nothing prints out.

Click on the !Printers icon first. It may be sending the output to
'null:'.

Do you mean just click on the iconbar !Prints icon? OK, I'll try that.
No, I'm afraid that it makes no difference.


I loaded an LJ1100 (a guess - the nearest I could find to LJ1018),
selected that printer and it went yellow. Looking at the Connections,
it is set to USB, and in the greyed-out File window I can see:
#interfaces0;alternate0:USB2

The 03F0:4117 should appear on the right of the USB connection button.

Yes, it does.


But nothing is coming out of the printer, and nothing is left in the
queue.

Click the Printers icon before printing if !Printers has just load. You
can check where the print is going '*Show Printer$Path'.

*Show Printer$Path gives the #interfaces0;alternate0:USB2 string that
is in the Connections window, greyed out, in the To File section.



Actually, the queue says "HP 1100 (HP 1100) on parallel (Active)" is
that what you'd expect, please?

No. This doesn't correspond with loading an LJ1100 and setting to USB as
written above.

I think I got confused there. The queue now says "HP 1100 (HP 1100)
on USB (Active)", but still absolutely nothing comes out of the printer.

Very strange.

The TOMS guys kindly suggested I did a print-to-file and send them
the file as they've got an LJ 1015, which is presumably similar to my
1018. The file printed OK on their printer, so it looks as if the PDF
*should* work on my 1018.

ANy more ideas, please?


All the best,

Paul
