Hmmm .... the converter has been working with many previous versions of 
Fedora. Could it be that linux is not supporting the device now? Seems 
unlikely, though, as all the device is doing is converting between 
Parallel and USB. Could also be that its died, athough doing it between 
14 and 15 seems unlikely.
