Nope. The USB ****t runs everything on the printer.

Good guess. See the specs for the 3050 at:

I have several customers with this particular printer. My not so
humble opinion of the Java based fax/print/monitor software is that
it's dog slow, kinda flakey, and drove me nuts under Windoze 2000.
However, when they upgraded to Windoze XP and faster machines, things
stabilized nicely. I vaguely recall that the above OCR software was
on a seperate CD that came in the box or required a download. It's
probably NOT on the original install CD. They didn't need OCR so it
was never installed. Look around and see if you can find the CD's and
instructions.

Nope. You're wasting mine.
