I'm having some trouble. This used to work, and all-of-a-sudden it isn't now. I have a woody/2.4.16 system with an HP Deskjet 952C on the parallel port. I use LPRNG and MAGICFILTER with the dj690c-filter, and this has worked fine in the past. I've done a few apt-get update/upgrades since last I printed, so I'm suspicious of something that might have changed in an upgrade.
My BIOS setting for the port is ECP and my kernel settings are: CONFIG_PARPORT=y CONFIG_PARPORT_PC=y CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_CML1=y CONFIG_PARPORT_1284=y CONFIG_PRINTER=y The following lines show up in /var/log/dmesg: parport0: PC-style at 0x378 (0x778) [PCSPP,TRISTATE] parport0: irq 7 detected parport0: cpp_daisy: aa5500ff(38) parport0: assign_addrs: aa5500ff(38) parport0: cpp_daisy: aa5500ff(38) parport0: assign_addrs: aa5500ff(38) lp0: using parport0 (polling). I can send data to the printer using: cat text.file > /dev/lp0 and... lpr text.file and... enscript -1 -G text.file and the printer prints, but not the text. The output has words that look like the filter or enscript calls, e.g. '%%BoundingBox...' and '/.notdef' and '%!PS-Adobe-3.0....' This is messing with me...I feel like I'm close, but I'm missing something small. I've purged and reinstalled LPRNG and MAGICFILTER, and even tried using LPR, but no luck. Any help will much appreciated. thanks, jc -- Jeff Coppock Systems Engineer Diggin' Debian Admin and User
