Data send to printer via /dev/lpt0 in 6.1-STABLE hangs

2006-08-18 Thread Kees Plonsz
A bitmapfile for a printer send to /dev/lpt0 doesn't do anything,
it just hangs:

# cat bitmapfile   /dev/lpt0

No error reports anywhere.
Cannot be interrupted with ^C or ^Z
Any other mode with lptcontrol does not have any effect.

Same configuration in 6.1-Release works o.k.

Found it.
plip0 interface was default up. Should be default down
My Canon printer was seen as a point to point interface.
Nice joke :-)
