        I have a user with a 10.2 G4 and a Dymo LabelWriter USB
thermal label printer. Dymo supplies a handy little classic app from
which you can print labels. It is supposed to work under classic
emulation.

        On my computer (also a 10.2 G4), it does.

        On her computer, it doesn't.

        On my machine, after I fire up classic emulation and run the
little label printing application, I go to the Chooser, click on the
Dymo icon in the upper left, see the printer appear in the list (list
of one) on the right, choose it, and go back to may app and print
like a happy camper.

        On her machine, it doesn't show up in the Chooser, I can't
pick it, etc. etc.

        If I reboot her machine into classic, it works great --
printer shows up in Chooser and it works as advertised.

        Anybody have any suggestions? My feeling is that X isn't
playing nice with her Classic, and not arbitrating the USB access
correctly. (Oh, come to think of it, she does have a USB hub and
several devices hooked up; I'll try having the Dymo as the only
peripheral just to make sure...)

Thanks!
-Greg
