What type of printer port protocol do you use, SPP or 
regular, ECP, or the EPP?  The reason I ask is that some
of the newer printers need to talk back to the CPU, and thus
need a good bi-directional protocol like EPP.  Make sure you
also have a decent, bi-directional printer cable.

While we're on the subject, does anyone here use the Pentax
PocketJet with their ThinkPad (besides myself)?
