That's atrocious thow isn't it? I mean changing the 'standard'  port
from parallel to USB is one thing but making Windows the only  OS
supported is another!



Both is atrocious when you consider the number of people who use  non-Windows 
computers and even the amount of industrial machinery which is  designed to 
have a printer attached - normally through a parallel port and  normally 
sending ASCII direct to the port.
 
I have had to source a replacement inkjet printer for a Jaguar dealership  
for heavens sake - they needed it to connect to their MOT testing machine.   
Even the people who make the MOT testing machine could not find a new inkjet  
printer which they could use with it other than the A3 one I have mentioned  (as 
it sent EPSON control codes as well).
