Hi all,
I'm trying to configure my box as a printserver over Samba, to connect it
to our HP Deskjet 712C (formerly attached to a laptop, which I want to make
more portable). With a little bit of work I've got PDQ printing fine.
However, if I try printing directly to the parallel port ("cat filename >>
\dev\lp0") I get the message "lp0: compatibility mode" but nothing actually
prints out. I get the same message when using PDQ but something will
actually print. Since this HP printer uses a proprietary file format, I
figured perhaps a plaintext file wouldn't have the instructions to actually
print embedded in it. So I've tried sending files from the Windows laptop
(which has the printer's drivers installed) to the printer over Samba- with
the same results.
I'm running Debian Woody with kernel 2.4.18.
