I was very pleasantly surprised when I simply plugged the USB into the TPad [my Lexmark Optra S printer was already plugged into the adapter] and got a popup that "a new port and a new printer had been installed! All I had to do was print to the new printer and out came the report. I had done no real pre-planning for this because I had been using the printer via the parallel port on my 'Advanced Dock'. I did have DEVICE=O:\OS2\BOOT\USBPRT.SYS defined in my config.Sys. And, I also had the 'USBPRT Auto Monitor' object in the StartUp folder. I don't remember actually doing this; probably was part of the eCS 2.0 RC2 install. Net: The Lenovo USB-Serial/Parallel port adapter is, in my book, a real winner! Good luck. Carl
