The Cannon BJC-6000 is a "papaerweight"

Reported to work on Usenet by Jan Harmsen; may well be "perfect" - if so please fix!
May only run at 720x720?
Try the 610 Uniprint drivers, too. I ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) changed the functionality to paperweight after finding no success on Linux 2.3.39 with a known good parport setup (BJ-210SP works). With gs I tried the bjc600 driver with no joy. echo yes >/dev/lp0 failed to respond and needed a break to get the prompt back. lpr of ascii caused no action from printer, and the job stayed in the queue indefinitely, with lpq claiming that the printer was printing. When I put the 210SP back everything worked. During the tests I compiled a kernel with plug+play turned on but no plug+play device was detected at boot. I think she's a dud.
Note: printer doesn't print plain text.

Ok. As I mentioned in my rant yesterday, I have a printing problem. I run on a Compaq Presario 4862. I installed Mandrake 6.5 in a dual boot setup with Win98se. Everything I have tested seems to work with the exception of printing.

After installation, I went to Printtool and defined a printer (HP Deskjet 722C before I found out it was was Win printer). I told the program to send out a test page both to the spooler and to the port. I received a message stating that the test page printed. Printer response, nothing.

I tried it with a Canon BJC6000 which I found from the printing Howto site is supposed to work. Same response. I don't get any kind of activity from the printer at all. I checked out some books and followed the advice there. I did a dmesg from a console window and found that parport recognized both of my printer ports and even recognized the proper printer attached to LPT1 (P0).
