Has anyone had any experience with a Seiko ColorPoint PS printer (model CH5500S)? I have one (it is old and I got it second-hand) but it is refusing to work for me. I have a Woody system and I am using CUPS. I grabbed the proper PPD file from a Win95 box (it was named .SPD and was in MacOS-style ASCII format!) but the printer is refusing to print. I used to have it working in Win95, Win98 and RH6.1 (and maybe 7.0 though I don't remember if I used it at all then). At one point it did refuse to print some things (the presentation slides I needed). It can print the internal test page, but whenever I send something through the parallel port it says "Recieving Data", but doesn't print anything. Sometimes it goes back to a "ready" state and other times it doesn't seem to realize it already got all the data. I tried submitting stuff through CUPS and also just cat-ing a PS file to /dev/lp0. I did change the parallel port to "Normal" in my BIOS because I saw a web site that said this was needed but I didn't see any difference. (I'll try moving it to the 'doze box and see what it does there later on)
TIA, -D
