I can't print.
I get a "sending data to printer", but nothing prints.

Manage printers does say there is a printer located at the USB port, and it seems to be connected to it.

it's amazing how hard it is to change settings. i just tried to set the default paper size and I absolutely cannot make cups remember the setting...
CUPS is not my friend.
