yeah, and it just flashed this box
and did nothing after that.
I noticed that on linuxprinting.org
I had to get a couple of files off of
that site for the old HP Deskjet.
I think it works now, I just have to
lpd -Pqueue instead of just lpd.
I do not have the ink cart yet,
so I just have to judge by the
way the carriage is acting
that it is printing correctly,
at least it is trying.
I will let you know when I
actually get the ink cart in
if it is actually printing the
correct characters.
Thanx
