USB printers

by 100605.3576 . Updated 17 years, 10 months ago

I am an amateur ‘C’ programmer. I have been using an Epson 4oo printer which works well with the usual printing functions eg
fptr=fopen(“prn”,”w”) followed by
fprintf(fptr,” etc etc).
I have now bought a Lexmark printer 1380 which will not work with this coding. I suspect the difference between these printers is that the Epson uses parallel connection whereas the Lexmark uses USB.
Is there a way around this problem? Nothing too complex please!!
