I agree, and I've been having the same problems. Well technically a friend rather than me, but it's an odd problem. I eventually wondered if it was a BIOS problem, and found that the BIOS had the parallel port set to an odd mode.. SPP or EPP is okay, but I think bi-directional modes cause problems. Setting it to a simpler value seemed to partially solve the problem (or maybe just change the error message ;) I think the first thing to check is whether or not your kernel is actually recognising the parallel port: check for an /proc/parport, and more specifically what it says in /proc/parport/0/hardware. > > I wonder if apsfilter, lprng, or CUPS would be better > > Lprng is not a replacement for magicfiler.

I'd love help with this problem too.. though my friend has a BJC-2000SP, but that's also supposed to be compatible with the bjc600 for filter purposes. -- loki [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dare I disturb the universe?
