i enabled all the printing options as described in Gentoo Printing How to Wiki:
i have a parallel-port EPSON Dot Matrix LX-300+ printer and i printed thousands of pages in Arch Linux and Fedora using that printer without any single trouble. in Gentoo i am unable to make it print i did all these: 1.) compiled with the options described in Gentoo Printing Wiki (http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/printing-howto.xml ): Device Drivers --> <*> Parallel port support <*> PC-style hardware Device Drivers --> Character Devices --> <*> Parallel printer support [*] IEEE 1284 transfer modes (NOTICE: last option, IEEE...., was not present in the latest kernel i am using: 2.6.19-gentoo-r5 BUt some other option was there and i selected that, it was similar to the one) 2.) did "emerge cups" 3.) opened "localhost:631" in Firefox and created a printer, using the same drivers i used on other distros: Generic -> IBMpro generic driver 3.) i can see the printing JOBS in "localhost:631" but those JOBS do NOT get printed. what is the trouble ? -- http://arnuld.blogspot.com/ -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
