re-purposing) a dead printer.  Journal by anominous  I have a
printer - an Epson Stylus Photo 790 to be exact.  It ceased to
function many moons ago, when the print head gave up the ghost.
It's mechanically/electrically sound, just doesn't squirt ink
any more!  So, to me, it's now a USB interface with precision
control of 2 stepper motors, plus other (potentially useful)
stuff :)  I have a couple of ideas for projects - but the
current stumbling block is how to control it. The printer driver
will be of no use, it's not intended to be used in such a way; I
want to be able to step both motors backward and forward, on
command.  If anyone has any suggestions, I'd love to hear them.
I'm comfortable in C# / VB (sorry, pls don't bash me for MS
background!) - but I've no experience at all in driver
development.  Many thanks,   User Journal  Journal: Does anybody
