Need Printer Help..............HELP!
Don't know if I'm writing to the right place here or not. If you could help me, I would very much appreciate it. I have a fairly new printer, DeskJet 648C, and it has always worked great. It is only a few months old. I updated my computer to 6.0, and since then, it will not copy anything from websights. Just sends out a plain sheet of paper. I reloaded, the printer disk, but to no avail. It will print other stuff, but nothing off of the web. If you have any suggestions, or any suggestions where I can write to, I would so very much be appreciative. Great day to you, Ruby

Subject: Need printer help Date: Sat, Mar 27, 1999 at 01:41:41AM -0500 In reply to:Robbie Huffman Quoting Robbie Huffman([EMAIL PROTECTED]): I'm hoping someone out here can help me discover why my printer won't print. Until not very long ago, I was using a Slackware system, and sending my infrequent print jobs by hand using gs -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=laserjet -sOutputFile=/dev/lp1. Now that I've switched to Debian, I can't get that much to work anymore. A good tunelp /dev/lp1 -r gets some response from the printer (in the form of some printhead movement), but nothing else will. Using gs sometimes causes the busy light to come on, but it quickly blinks out again. The Printing-HOWTO doesn't have any debugging hints. I'm lost. And my only guess is that the Debian setup for lpt1 is somehow different. Any pointers? Thanks, Robbie Huffman [EMAIL PROTECTED] do You have a /etc/printcap file? I seem to reall that Slack makes that for you. If not, get the magicfilter package. Run magicfilterconfig and answer a few questions. Your printer will then talk to you, again.
