I dont know what exactly is installed when(if) your using a debian binary kernel but if your compiling from source make sure you enable the Parellel printer support option in character devices when your making the kernel.
I also suggest you cat a file directly to the port and see what happens. at least then you know you have communication and later you can work on the lpd/magicfilter problems. nate On Mon, 6 Dec 1999, Jean-Yves BARBIER wrote: jybarb >On Mon, Dec 06, 1999 at 12:12:27AM +0100, Jean-Yves BARBIER wrote: jybarb >> Hi all, jybarb >> jybarb >> I didn't print for a long time; jybarb >> jybarb >> when I try to print a simple text file (lpr ZZZ), jybarb >> lpq says: "waiting for lp to become ready (offline ?)" jybarb > jybarb >Motherboard is an ABIT BE-6. jybarb >Of course, // port is in the kernel. jybarb >I also checked IEEE 1284 in my kernel 2.2.12, and on boot, it says jybarb >'parport0: PC-Style 0x378 [SPP, PS2]' jybarb >'parport0: Printer, EPSON Stylus Photo 750' jybarb > jybarb >> I check the cable, I de-installed/re-installed the 'lpr' jybarb >> package (always using my conf files for a Epson 750, on jybarb >> /dev/lp0).
