Ok, I am using suse 6.0, kernel 2.2.5, one parallel port, award bios,
epson stylus color 400, and a zip plus.
I have parport, parport_probe, parport_pc, lp, and imm all as modules.
Apsfilter is configured for /dev/lp0 and driver stcolor.
The problem is that nothing works right. Using cat foo > /dev/lp0 or
lpr foo will start the printer, but it will only print in the middle of
the page and go on for over 10 pages until I stop it without putting any
ink onto the paper.
I have recently upgraded my computer, but I kept the bios settings to
0x378 and ESC/EPP, which used to make the printer /dev/lp1, but right
now it is /dev/lp0.
With redhat 5.2, I never had any problems and only had to do insmod lp
or insmod imm, but that was kernel 2.0.36. The zip drive works fine,
but I need the printer to print ink across the entire page.
Also, after I have done modprobe lp, all of the parport modules are
loaded too, but I can't unload any of them without rebooting.
I'm guessing that the problem is with the device or the printing
language, but I never had this problem with redhat or *******95.
