Title: Epson Stylus Photo 750 USB Printing Help Please.
Post by: wildkow on October 28, 2003, 10:41:22 AM

Is anyone using a Epson Stylus Photo 750, or other multiported printer through the USB port that needs a command sent to activate the USB port?  If so how did you do it?  This printer comes with 3 ports a parallel port, an USB port or a MacIntosh.  A command must be sent before it will print to the USB port because Parallel is the default.  There are no physical switches that I can find. Looked around with google and this problem is mentioned but no real explaination for a n00bie like me.  There is supposed to be a way to send a command through Ghostscript but I can't find an explaination of the process.

TIA Brian

p.s. using E-Smith/SME Server 5.6u4.

I've got the ESP750 using USB running on a IBM Intellistation dual PII
400.  I just plug it in and set up the printer and Voila print server
works.

Ok Thanks, I have done some research and I read that you had to send a command to the printer to accept data on the USB port instead of the Parallel or ApplePort.
