Hello,
I can not get printing to work. :-(
I have Mandrake Linux 2.2.13-5mkd
BIOS: outboard parallel port: 378/IRQ7
outboard parallel mode: EPP/SPP
EPP Type : EPP 1.9
Here's what I did:
- login to kde as root
- select a Terminal Emulation
- printtool
get the "RedHat Linux Print System Manager" box
- select Add
get the "Add a Printer Entry" box
- select Local Printer radio button and enter OK
get "Auto-detection foud the following:
/dev/lp0 : Not detected
/dev/lp1 : Not detected
/dev/lp2 : Not detected
Other:
- lsmod output includes
parport_probe 3492 2 (uninitilized)
parport_pc 5940 1 (autoclean)
lp 4988 1 (uninitialized)
parport 7580 1 (autoclean) [parport_probe
parport_pc lp]
- I was able to set lp0 up with printtool yesterday and printed with:
echo "hi world" > /dev/lp0 and then
lpr /etc/printcap
- Stopped working when I put the printer on an A-B switch to share
with the window machine and rebooted.
- The printer (a HP LaserJet 4L) is now directly hooked up to the
Linux machine.
A solution would be great. But some direction as to what to try would
be much appriciated.
Thanks,
Jim Kobe
