I have tried everything and can not get my printer to work with MK 8--it did for a time under 7.2 until I upgraded cups. I never has this printer or my pervious, Canon BJC 6000 work under MK 8. I have a Epson Stylus Photo 870 connected to my parallel port and tired USB. It did work with USB, but painfully slow and very faint--totally unusable. I tried the web interface with cups and I see the printer there but cant get it to print. I tried KCUPS and that is how I got the USB to work (sort of) but it will not see my parallel port. Under Mandrake Control Center, Hardware, Hardware, I see a printer icon, but nothing identified for it, as if it is empty. Under Printer, I try to set it up but get an error saying lp not ready. Then I delete the printer and reinstall and still wont print. It acts as if my parallel port is not there. But this printer works great under Win95 attached to the parallel port. But all the software I use is Linux, so that point is really mute. What else can I try? This problem is getting critial since I need a working printer for my new job. TIA Bruce
