I've been having a similar problem, so I'll just throw in my $.02 and hope someone can help.
I'm trying to replace RH7.1 with RH7.3. I only got printing working on 7.1 by completely replacing the printer stuff with a fresh compile of LPRng. I suppose I could do the same on 7.3, but would prefer a way to use the distro as-is. The actual printer is an HP LJ4M, on a parallel port of a COL eD2.4 machine, running caldera's standard printer stuff. Right now, the machine I'm upgrading dual boots 7.1 or 7.3, but I run 7.1 all the time because the printer stuff isn't sorted out yet. I may have fooled with the Caldera printer stuff; I don't remember whether on eD2.4 I still had to take steps to keep it from running postscript files through ghostscript to re-encode as Postscript to send to my printer. In any event, the way it is now, Postscript is sent directly to the printer. I handle a lot of Postscript files, so this suits me. ++ kevin On Sat, Jun 29, 2002 at 06:04:53AM -0700, Tony Alfrey wrote: > Printing (and sound cards) seem to be the "standard" setup problems. > There are a variety of notes on the SxS site, there are How-To's about > printing at the linux documentation project > http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Printing-Usage-HOWTO.html > and my favorite source > "Running Linux" (O'Reilly Pub.) > > > On Saturday 29 June 2002 02:36 am,Shane A Broomhall wrote: > > Hi All, > > > > I have just put Red Hat 7.3 on my laptop after using SUSE for some > > time.
