Hi all

Been flying with Hoppies MCDU,Acars airbourne, but i have a problem which i cant resolve. When i go to print it crashes my acars i have printing enabled but not direct printing. I understand it print to LPT1 port and not USB how can i sort this please??

The only way is to convince Windows to print from a fake Lpt1 port to a fake network port, which then ends up on a USB port. Look into the NET USE command, or whatever GUI options you have.

It is technically not possible to adapt ACARS to USB, sorry for this.

Hi Jeroen
 
I got it to where my printer tells me its printing then printing complete but my printer didn't even start so not sure where that going. I noticed in the print queue the doc file name is "Local Downlevel document" never seen this before. anybody ever got this working in win 7 64bit
