Digital BW, The Print

Hello Bill,

Version 1.0.0 of OPM only supports a USB connection either direct or via a
USB hub.

I do know that on the larger printers( e.g. 9600) you can have multiple
connections to your printer, If you set the connection type to ³auto² the
printer will respond to what ever it receives a signal from.  I don¹t know
if you can also add a USB cable to your 2200 and have it auto sense.

Joe
