Hi, I am struggling getting my printer to work (Epson SC 740). I am now pretty sure my problem is that the printer doesn't receive anything because documents are spooled, and it looks like the documents are sent to lp0. Still, the printer is dead (It prints in Windows though). I am pretty sure that I have installed all the required packages. I have also downloaded and tried special filters for my printer. I can also see ghostscipt dealing with the print jobs using "top".
I am running potato with kernel 2.2.9. I have tried to recompile the kernel also without auto detect of the parallel port, but no go. When compiling with auto detect I can see the printer detected, but on parport0 (or something like that) instead of lp0. I am not able to print either way though. How can check that my parallel port works like it should? How can I see that lp0 really receives the documents? And finally, what might be the reason I am not able to print at all?
