Hi all,
Sorry about the late reply. The PC was on th blink and today only
it was made alright.
I tried lsmode command and yes, parport is loaded. The following was the
outout (alongwith other modules)
Module Size Used by
sound core 4432 0
binfmt_misc 6304 1
parport_pc 17808 1
lp 5264 0
nls_iso8859_i 2882 2
parport 25856 1
vfat 9168 2
fat 32832 0
usb-ohci 17264 1
usb core 49632 1
But still the printing from application(K Word) or commandline (lpr) did not
work with the
earlier quoted error message continuing.
Mean while dumping the output on the device with the command
# cat FTP-FAQ > /dev/lp0
worked with the whole file being printed. This is quick and dirty printing
but I would like
to set up proper printing using spoolers.
Pl help
