Hmmm .... two questions:

1. Do you need the CD-ROM player to install the drivers?  considering that
these CD-ROM players are hopelessly backlogged, and considering the fact
that we may not see 3.0 for QUITE a long time, this is not so promising for
many of us caught in the crunch.

2. What cable configuration does a standard parallel printer use (saw none
in the FAQ)?  I think we will eventually be ordering some of these cables
for our Epsons and IBM Proprinters.

Thanks for anything on this.

Joe
