this is because you haven't selected the camera type. in the config screen 
where you set the comm dev (/dev/lp0) the default option is to browse a 
directory. change this to the type of device you are using. (if you can find 
it) as i said in my earlier mail, i don't think it's designed to download 
from devices other than camera's but..... so long as the device you select is 
the same make as the camera in the list of compatables, you may have a bit of 
luck :-)

let me know how you get on.
