I'm sorry if this post is not appropriate for this mailing list. If there is a more appropriate mailing list, could you let me know?
Currently, I'm unable to print on my Pentium-II while in Debian. When in Win2K, I can print alright. The printer is a HP DeskJet 720C. I have confirmed that the modules for the parallel port are being loaded (lp, parport-pc, parport), and that the device shows up as lp0 (I see this when I look at the dmesg output). The first thing that I did after I installed Debian, was to apt-get "printtool". It installed LPR-PPD, I think, and after selecting the appropriate device, and driver, I tried printing, but nothing came out. Second, I tried recompiling the kernel and modules, trying different methods, all unsuccessful. I've tried compiling the drivers into the kernel, disabling FIFO, etc. I know that the driver is recognizing the port, because when the appropriate IEEE protocol is activated, the printer responds to one of the modules being loaded by reporting its name (DeskJet 720C, blah). When I had problems with SPARC-Debian, disabling the FIFO was enough, and printing worked. This seems to be the only suggestion that the printing README files have for i386 Debian, but I'm not having any success. Does anyone have any suggestions? Have other people been able to print when using Debian on an i386 type computer with the latest releases? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
