Hmm, that sorta kinda doesn't explain it though..
Windows clients can print, their jobs complete, and internally on the PSUS4
I can see nothing remaining in the queue, and the printer shows idle..
To me it looks like it is CUPS that is waiting for something to happen,
while it already happened.. the logic there escapes me i'm afraid :/
The device requires no drivers to function, only the printer does.
I haven't seen a note in the manual about LPD being supported, but I will
have a look and see how far I can get this weekend.
Thanks!
