On the up side, I was (almost) able to (in Linux) set Vidar's debug option to TRUE, capture his output and sneeker-netted (thumb drive) it to an XP system where I used NotePad to print it to a *generic-USB-printer-driver* "pointing" at the USB device that happened to be a WB100-20 <breath>.
Just a quick follow-up on the Vidar script : http://vidar.gimp.org/graphtecprint/ I downloaded graphtecprint 1.0.1 onto Windows XP, and loaded the various support packages, like gtk, and glade. I ran into a brick wall when I encountered the python exit message : ImportError: No module named fcntl When I searched for documentation at : http://docs.python.org/library/fcntl.html#module-fcntl I get the message : Platforms: Unix
The module fcntl appears to be a Unix-only module. Looking at the python code it appears at first glance to be a fairly low-level communication link to a device, the type of thing that Windows would typically not support. In any event, it appears that this will not work under Windows without a major overhaul of the communication link. On the bright side, the glade user interface is very cool, and quite easy to get up and running in Windows (if one first takes a few Valium).
