Many of the newer Windows USB and GDI printers dont work well or at all with MFG/Pro, BUT there is still an option!
A 3rd party product exists which is primarily a report enhancer similar to Optio, but alot cheaper (sending MFG report output to Excel,email,fax or barcode. The product is called "Transform" and is sold by
www.sprolinux.com. Transform has a bounce option whereby printers in MFGPro can be setup to send to Transform first, then Transform will process the the report and then properly translate and send to any Host Based/GDI or USB printer. Sure, it costs money, but it can save you some of that back by not having to buy expensive printers on the other side. Lots of other features too for the cost.
