Re: Spectrum Interface 1 serial cable for RetroPrinter
As the ZX Interface 1 has a female 9 pin RS232 connector, why do you need an extra cable? The USB to RS232 adaptor should just plug straight in.

Re: Retro-Printer Module Lights
That is odd.
You never said if you replaced the file:
/etc/cups/cupsd.conf
which I emailed to you a few weeks back - this overcame an issue with the CUPS interface and fixed issues with connecting to it over the browser.
You need to replace this file with the Bitvise SSH file browser. Unzip it ...
