Hi and happy sukkoth everyone,
I'm having a strange printer problem. I have an Epson Stylus Color 740
which works perfectly on Windows but on Linux I cannot get it to print.
Now, the lp, parport and parport_pc modules are loaded, but I cannot seem
to print anything by catting a text file (or a postscript file) to the
printer. The permission on /dev/lp1 are:
crw-rw-rw- 1 root lp 6, 1 Aug 30 12:54 /dev/lp1
And the relevant files from /proc/sys/dev/parport/parport1 are:
/autoprobe
------
/autoprobe0
------
/autoprobe1
------
/autoprobe2
------
/autoprobe3
------
/base-addr
------
888 1912
/devices/active
------
none
/devices/lp/timeslice
------
200
/dma
------
3
/irq
------
7
/modes
------
PCSPP,TRISTATE,COMPAT,ECP,DMA
/spintime
------
500
What can I do to make everything allright?
Regards,
Shlomi Fish

A more experienced programmer does not make less bugs. He just realizes
what went wrong more quickly.
