I don't think he asked for a critique of his printer hookup. And the word is "waste". >Do you have a parallel cable for your printer? >If so, use that instead of the USB. Why would you possibly mess with a clunky old parallel port when the USB interface works so much better. faster (yes, printers DO need that speed), smaller cable, end of cable clutter. I have one USB cable exiting this laptop. It runs over to the peripheral table next to me where there is a power hub, two printers, a scanner, the Jukebox cable, a usb/serial interface to drive my large format engineering plotter, a flash card reader and my Palm cradle. Only a foolish person would try a configuration like that without USB. To the original question, that icon is on your tray because of your Jukebox. It flushes the cache buffer so data won't be lost at disconnect. If you have your device setting configured not to cache the Jukebox drive, the icon is not needed but I've yet to figure out how to remove it. If you're on XP and allow it to hide unused icons it'll be hidden fast enough.
