Hello, I am trying to setup an hp 5mp printer at home, off the parallel port. I am running kernel 2.4.2, with parport enabled, as well as the IEEE 1284 option. And the printer seems to be correctly recognized at bootup (parport0).
I am using lprng for printing, and typing 'lpr somefile' doesn't do anything... Checking with lpq, I have 'Cannot open /dev/lp0, no such device'... I have set the permission on lp0 to 622 (I have only one device on the parallel port). I am still looking for a config problem on my part. However, I tailed /var/log/messages, and there is msg 'spurious 8259A interrupt: IRQ7'. Do you have any suggestion? Thanks, Matt
