I have a Debian Gnu/Linux 3.0 box, dual boot with Windows 2000, on which I'm running Cups v. 1.1.15 with gimp-print v. 4.2.5. When I add my Epson Stylus C82, it claims to have added it successfully. The connection was through "Parallel Port #1 (Epson Stylus C82)", since when I booted the parport module had detected my printer: dmesg said
parport0: PC-style at 0x378 (0x778) [PCSPP,TRISTATE] parport0: irq 7 detected parport0: Printer, EPSON Stylus C82 lp0: using parport0 (polling). lp0: console ready If I say ls -l /dev/lp0 I get crw-rw-rw- 1 root lp 6, 0 Mar 14 2002 /dev/lp0 The CUPS admin claims the Printer State is Printer State: processing, accepting jobs. and the printer is connected through Device URI: parallel:/dev/unknown-parallel0 But whenever I try to print a test page, first it says "Printing page 0, 7%" then eventually it says "Printer not connected; will retry in 30 seconds..." This never changes and nothing ever gets printed. Furthermore, nothing happens if I say echo "stuff" > /dev/lp0 although I don't know if I should expect it to. I know it is not the case that the printer actually is not connected, since whenever I reboot to Windows I can print everything just fine.
