I have no Internet today till around 7pm, because I'm off out to do a shiny day's temp work.

TAFF deadline is today at midnight! News later.

Printer wrangling

My more attentive readers may recall the joys of previous posts such as "I connected the printer via the parallel port but it seems to read at the wrong speed and print HHelllloo wworrlld!!" and "Why can I not get the network to recognise it via the Ethernet port, when I am sure I have its IP address correct?"

I always had the backup plan of using the printer's USB port, and today I went to try this. And found it is a Standard-B receptacle, the connector for which the like thereof I have not got. Oh yes thank you universe. Thank you very much.
