Customer has an HP 1300 Laserjet and intends to use USB.
Many attempts to make it work failed - apparently affecting the setup of the
DOT port.
Finally noticed that HP recommends plugging the printer's AC power into the
wall and not into a power strip *and* to use the power cord supplied with
the printer. Doing the former (and maybe the latter, I don't know) solved
the problem!
Hypothesis:
The printer has a very susceptible power supply that can't stand any
filtering between the printer and the source of AC power.
Any others? Comments?
Thanks,
Fred
