BTW 1.1R had no problems with the same hardware. Hmm, I've got an LX800 and a LX810 that I've used with no problems on 1.1.5. Printing happens as fast as it can print, although the first time it prints it sets the printer into draft mode which is sometimes annoying. I'm using the cheapo multi-I/O card that I bought years ago. Nate
