Hello,

I bought this device now and it attaches as:

Jun  1 11:02:12 La-Habana kernel: ugen1.2: <Prlific Technology Inc.> at usbus1
Jun  1 11:02:12 La-Habana kernel: ulpt0: <Prlific Technology Inc.  IEEE-1284 Controller, class 0/0, rev 1.00/2.00, addr 2> on usbus1
Jun  1 11:02:12 La-Habana kernel: ulpt0: using bi-directional mode

but I can not send data to the device:

# cat Pango/my1st.ps > /dev/ulpt0
cat: stdout: Input/output error

Any ideas?
