Have gone from bad to worse now. Nothing will print now. I have removed cups and switched back to lpr. Files get spooled but never print. In dmesg I can see: parport: PnPBIOS parport detected. parport0: PC-style at 0x378 (0x778), irq 7, dma 3 [PCSPP,TRISTATE,COMPAT,ECP,DMA] lp0: using parport0 (interrupt-driven). I have tried straight EPP in bios with no change. This is a Epson Stylus Color 740. Using escputil as root I get: nuthatch:/home/jim# escputil -sr /dev/lp0 Escputil version 4.2.6, Copyright (C) 2000-2001 Robert Krawitz Escputil comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type 'escputil -l' This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; type 'escputil -l' for details. Cannot open /dev/lp0 read/write: Device or resource busy Should there be a lpd.lock file in var/spool/lpd when it is not printing? The only boot difference I am noticing right now is that the actual printer used to be shown in the dmesg output.
