Strange behavior of lpr+lpd resolved

1996-11-23 Thread mgiammarco
Incredible, I have changed the printer cable, and now the Epson  
Stylus prints!
I have also had to use the tunelp program, but with the old cable  
it had no effect, with the new
I cannot understand why a cable let some program print and other no.

I thank You for your interest, expecially David

enabled 1 entry in spool area etc

No success with magicfilter no with apsfilter

Obviously.


I begin to suspect there is a cable problem, with windows95 and
directly with postscript I can print, but when lpq says that lp is
ready and printing I notice that the data led on my printer lights,
and sometimes the printer loads a sheet of paper. I will try
another printer cable. But the question is, what "handshake" the
lpd do with the printer? I mean, what return value/signal lpd would
receive from the printer before send another data?
