I can't imagine how frustrated you are at this point.
If you wouldn't mind, I have some troubleshooting suggestions. It appears that
perhaps you might have some problems with the actual printer interface
(/dev/lp0), so let's make sure that works well.
FIrst, make sure nothing, even lprng, is using /dev/lp0 - shut down lprng and
make sure there are no processes left around.
Then run the following command:
/bin/echo -e -n Hello\\015\\012World\\015\\012\\014 >textfile.txt
And finally
cat textfile.txt >/dev/lp0
This should print out
Hello
World
followed by a form feed.
Unless this works, there's not much use trying to get lprng (or even CUPS) to
work.
