    Can I print via Parallel port or USB port on the KM6500

    The video card on my KM Fiery is not being recognized. A new card is on the way but will take a bit of time.

    I see a USB port and a parallel port on the KM6500 machine. Can anyone please let me know if I can print through any of these ports directly (without fiery) and how can I install the drivers.

    Thank you for the help rendered in advance

    Sadly no.
    There are no print capabilities on the c6500 without a fiery or the shity IC60x KM controller
    Those ports are not for printing.
    Sorry for the bad news.
    We know a thing or two because we've seen a thing or two.
    The medication helps though...

        Are you sure that you've got broken video interface in your Fiery?


        In case of IC-408 controller, when Windows cannot detect vx500 device (video interface) it's 95% broken mainboard - particulary broken solder joints in 6300ESB south bridge chip.

          Yes ! I have made sure of that.. tested the video card on another fiery... does not detect there too. I have the IC 303 fiery system.
