OK, I've sent in some info b$ on this and nothing works. Let me try it
again.
After numerous tries at setting up this printer nothing happens. Have
tried
PrinterDrake and linuxconf from root.
The most constant error message I receive is regarding lp0. Trying to
run tunelp
"tunelp lp0 -s" gives me "no such file or directory".
Trying to print from a program I get "unable to open parallel port
device file: no
such device"
Checking thru dmesg I do not find any reference to lp0/lp1 etc., a
printer or the
parallel port.
I figured after disabling Plug&Play in my Bios and receiving a previous
reply to
also reset my BIOS to ECP I did that using the AUTO option as well. HP
also says
that it recommends setting this printer up on ECP. Still nothing.
Why isn't lp0 recognized or setup. Where can I find the setup files.
Maybe I can
manually load it?
