Ok, Cups hating time ;-)
I've got a machine I've installed LM 7.2 on, and now I want to get it
to talk to an HP DeskJet 560C printer.
So, hook up the printer to parallel port, fire up printerdrake, and
get it all configured (already had another printer defined on lp0,
did not delete it first, then later went back and deleted it).
Tried the test print, went to another window, and asked lpq what
was up, and it said '<printer> is not ready'
So, I said 'echo hi > /dev/lp0' and the printer started printing,
then I sent a linefeed to the printer (same way, sorta), and it
very nicely ejected a sheet with 'hi' on it.
So, hardware is right, and the printer works, but even as the 'hi'
was printing lpq kept insisting that the printer was not ready.
Has anybody seen this and fixed it without just removing cups? ;-)
