I had hoped that doing regular updates on my system, which is now Lenny, would eventually solve the problem, but it still would not print until today. I finally found how to fix the problem after reading this report of Bug #38805 in Debian. They found the parallel port settings in the bios were involved in the problem. https://bugs.launchpad.net/debian/+bug/38805 I checked my bios setup and under Parellel Port Mode found four choices. Normal, Bi-directional, EPP and ECP. I experienced the printer problem with the bios set to ECP. When I choose Normal, the printer now works.
