- Hmm.. this explains alot to me about my dongle pass thru problems. Well I
- usually do all my printing on my other computer but it is waiting for new
- parts to arrive and I needed to print something and noticed that LW won't work
- when my printer is installed but as soon as I remove the printer from the
- dongle (by switching it on my AB switch box) lightwave starts working again.
- So this might be a temporary solution for anyone who must have a printer
- installed on their lightwave machine. Just get an a/b switch and when you need
- to print close lightwave flip the switch, print, flip the switch again and
- then go and use lightwave.
