I've been reading and googling and everything else.. it seems a problem with the cable I'm using. I'll try to use a Parallel Port cable (Male-Female) instead a Paralallel to USB one, I'll keep you posted, if anyone has other advice it might be helpful Thanks. -- <-Manuel Escudero-> Linux User #509052 @GWave: jmlev...@googlewave.com @Blogger: http://www.blogxenode.tk/ (Xenode Systems Blog) PGP/GnuPG: E2B4 31CE F2BF 1944 8664 3E22 88C8 DFC9 4D7C 1B35
