I didn't expect as 6" by 6" by 3/4" deal because the photo on line APPEARED to look like a suitcase tower . . . . .
Anyway . . . . Having never seen anything like this before, I gave it and my old tower to my IT guy to transfer from the old to the new and I'm impressed with this technology.
I'm having a devil of a time with my Epson ET 2803 printer because, I needed a copy of my registration and insurance for inspection and I went to the sites to bring them over to my email, and opened the mail, clicked to print and it went to documents.
I have downloaded the proper driver from Epson
I used an Epsom page to see if we WERE married and even printed out a test sheet.
But even direct from the DMV and Ins sites, clicking print goes right back to the documents.
I can copy and paste photos, photo links, clear text But I think it's the Epsom/computer connection. . ANYONE ?

you default printer is not set
that’s why it’s currently printing to DOCUMENTS folder
IBM Proprinters can function on Windows 11 using compatible 64-bit drivers from Loftware or generic emulation drivers, as Windows 11 maintains foundation compatibility with older devices. While direct modern driver support is rare, the IBM PPDS emulation mode or generic “IBM Proprinter” drivers within Windows 11’s printer setup can often enable printing. Can’t go wrong.
At first glance I thought your headline read “I bought on line a WWII hard drive”
What is a 6” by 6” by 3/4” W11 hard drive and how does it interface with your printer?
Alien tech is incompatible with US tech.
Every time I read one of these threads I and thankful that i switched to Apple/Mac years ago.
I was restarting my windows computer three or four times a days. Over a month, I would have spent almost a full day waiting for my computer to reboot. I switched and never looked back.
Good luck with your problem.
What does any of it mean? What does the Department of Motor Vehicles have to do with any of this, and why pressing the Ins(ert) key? Honestly - I have no idea what you’ve posted here. Sorry if I am being obtuse, but I don’t get any of this.
And don’t you think Epsom salts is bad for electronics in general?
Reading comments apparently W11 is being interpreted as Windows 11 - ok - reasonable I guess. But wha,t exactly, is a Windows 11 Hard Drive? I mean, I think I can guess most of what you intended to type, but, honestly, it would be mostly guesses.
I hope you got useful suggestions. If not, retyping this to describe what you really meant would be really helpful.
This sounds like an AI-generated random tech support question on Reddit.
Agreed!!!
There are some goofy ass posts on FR this afternoon!
ditto.
What is a W11 hard drive. Are you referring to a micro computer with Windows 11 installed? What brand is the computer? I’d like to look it up and see what it is.
It was in fact a small, 6" X 6" X 3/4" black thing with USB's and sockets for plugs and pins and speakers and etc.
You have choose the Epson ET 2803 printer first and then click print.
I came here for *that* comment!
👍
