Hay Eric, without details on what you tried and what you have it's a bit difficult to guess what anwser you need:) But I like guessing so...
You need a driver to be able to print. In stock debian systems such a driver is compiled as a module named lp. You have to tell the system to use this module. To do so run as root: # modconf select "misc" and then "lp" You are then allowed to enter some parameters to the lp module. Depending on your hardware you might try something like "io=0,irq=7" This tells the lp module to look for a parellel printer and find the port himself and use irq 7. If your printer-port uses a different irq fill that one in (you can check the printerport setting under Windows:) Now it must be possible as root to do things like # echo "hallo" >/dev/lp0 (replace lp0 with lp1 if you are running an older version of debian) If this works it's about time to install an lp daemon, e.g. lprng, and a printer filter, e.g. magicfilter. Hopes this helps, otherwise try giving us more details:) -- groetjes, carel
