It is a USB connection for both printers.
When I plug it into the PC it seems to find it is a new device and installs
the DD driver again, which shows as copy 1 in the printer list.
I did get it to print once yesterday (test page) but today it just says
Error - Printing is the status column. I have to delete the entry (twice) to
clear the queue.
I have had issues with the Print Spooler dying on start-up for some long
time but after a number of failures (varies from 0-5) all seems fine and the
original printer has always worked without problems.
