I assume you meant !PrtSet2USB (Print {type} set to USB).

It only identifies where there is a USB printer, it doesn't need to know
what make or model it is.

It doesn't install anything, it uses the definitions that are already set
in !Printers.

This suggests you already have a suitable printer definition in !Printers.

All the program does is look for any printer definitions within !Printers
that are currently connected to 'Parallel' and offer a pop-up menu where
you can select the printer.
I suspect you have saved the !Printers settings with the 'To file'
connection still active so the program is ignoring it. Change it to
'Parallel', save the choices and retry. If you need further help then
please email me.
