Run /sbin/lsmod and see what is loaded. I am beginning to wonder if you
have the printer port modules loaded. The command had you type will
dump a raw ASCII file directly to the printer. It should produce an
output an any printer that understands ASCII (plain text.) The output
will probably have the stair step output, but thats ok...
