Title: Message
Having some problem getting a parallel printer running.
 
It's a Epson Stylus 480. On a test temporary Knoppix/HDD install I had it running on this machine - did a test print, but now that I've done the 'real' install of Mandrake 10 it won't go...
 
Kernel is standard mdk 10 (2.6) so should have parport included.
The output of 'lsmod' includes:
parport_pc             32832  1
parport                38952  4 lp,ppa,parport_pc,imm
lp                     12200  2
 
/proc/devices includes under 'character devices':
6 lp
'ls -l /dev/lp0' gives:
lr-xr-xr-x  1 root root 10 Jun  4 10:19 /dev/lp0 -> printers/0
the output of dmesg includes:
parport0: PC-style at 0x378 [PCSPP,TRISTATE]
parport0: cpp_daisy: aa5500ff(38)
parport0: assign_addrs: aa5500ff(38)
parport0: cpp_daisy: aa5500ff(38)
parport0: assign_addrs: aa5500ff(38)
lp0: using parport0 (polling).
lp0: console ready
 
Appears to be correctly setup CUP+Gimp-print - but jobs just sit in the queue.
 
Any hints or advice gratefully received!
