Sparkey, at this point the USB is not a host port but a guest port. This means it is like a printer to the PC its connected to. I suspect that with a rewrite of the firmware it could be used as a printer port, but then you run into the problem that most printers these days are designed to be connected to a PC which sends all output to the printer using a high level printer language.
Its not like the old days when you just sent text to a printer. It would be asking way to much of the Maximite to be able to talk to any USB printer as there is very little common between them in terms of the printer language used between brands.
