Printing some pdf files with acroread makes some printers |
| 14 |
hang here. |
| 15 |
To locate the problem source, I'd like to check if the printer |
| 16 |
works if it gets the postscript or pdf-file (there printer is assumed |
| 17 |
to accept postscript level 3). |

I hope to use pyusb to print to a USB printer. There is a new version |
| 20 |
1.0.0a0 on sourceforge. |

Some of my network printers accept file submission via ftp. |
| 23 |
But what for the other ones? |
