I've had some progress with making my Ultra 30 print, but no real success. What I have done so far is adding the modules, parport_pc and lp. I have also did MAKEDEV par, MAKEDEV parport, and MAKEDEV lp. During the installation of the parport_pc module, I get the following messages: parport0: PC-style at 0x1fff13043bc (0x1fff13047bc), irq 7039808, dma 0 [PCSPP,T RISTATE,COMPAT,ECP,DMA] parport0: Printer, EPSON Stylus COLOR 800
During lp installation (I think), I get the following: lp0: using parport0 (interrupt-driven). When I try running the following (cat textfile.txt > /dev/lp0), I get the following: lp0: compatibility mode DMA write timed out The last message repeats until I hit CTRL-C. I installed printtool, but it is not able to autodetect any printers, and it even question if I have added the parport module (which I have by this point). Any suggestions? -Sageev ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sageev George" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, June 16, 2002 8:48 PM Subject: Printing on Ultra 30 > Hi: > I've searched thru the archives for help on this, but > I am still confused.
