Activesync directly to USB printer?

Is it possible to take the Axim and direcly connect it to a USB printer with the supplied Activesync cable? Has any one tried this? Is there drivers that are needed?

that i think is not possible.... since the axim actually hasnt got any usb... its a non standard bus.... if you want usb support search for CF and USB ... i know there is one...

or

you could share you printer over the network.... ;)

Chaositec is correct but it's not because of a nonstandard bus. USB has controllers and devices. Controllers have that rectangular PC plug (because PCs are controllers). Devices have the squarish plug. In USB land, devices can't talk to devices. They can only talk to controllers.

There is a CF card that preforms as a USB controller.

That make sense about the controller/devices thing.

Thanks
