The productkey was derived from sharp document solution division in japan by using the machine serial number. So you cant use same product key with different serial no.

No, what I am trying to find out is, If I take print controller from machine A and install on machine B, can I get a new product key for the new combination of Machine B and controller from Machine A? Thanks.

I think cant. But you can try it.

Did you try to print to it using simple generic drivers?

draph, it appears that Sharp disabled the local printing function so people could not use thrid party controllers and have to pay ransom to Sharp.

That's right! Put memory in gear now. AR-P21 NIC card, hard drive etcetera. The "U" was never intended to print straight from the box.

So why did it come with two ports? Have to ask the great minds of Sharp I guess.

I think printer spooler service is disabled by the system administrator in that computer. Go to my computer right click than go to services here you see printer spooler service, make it enable. Now go to printer console u can see ur printer.
