Re: [newbie] Printing Problems in 6.5
Sorry about the html. I just started using Outlook a couple of weeks ago and had not even checked that! Anyway, I decided to take the BJC6000 back and will probably get an HPDJ 895cxi, unless someone has had serious problems with it. According to gtaylor's page, it is supposed to work (mostly). Hopefully that won't change like the entry for the BJC did! Thanks for the help and I will let everyone know how it comes out. I suppose this is one way to learn Linux!

Well, this might actually get me to work on email in linux. I have have spent so much time on this printing problem, I haven't worked on email. I will try to see if I can get it tonight! - Original Message - == The HP 7xx series printers are all winprinters, but he 69x series should work just fine.

Re: [newbie] Printing Problems in 6.5
According to http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/pht/printer_list.cgi?make=Canonformat=full 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.Refill: cartridge And the HP 722C only worls partially... works in bw only.Refill: cartridge 51645A (Black); C1823A (Color)This entry has not yet been proofread.Driver: Ghostscript: -sDEVICE=pbm2ppa # (600x300 BW)No autoprobe info - Please add using Ed Printer link!

[newbie] Printing Problems in 6.5
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). I checked the config files that I could find and the proper entries for parport seem to be there. I installed tunelp and tried to assign irq7 to the parallel port. Still nothing happens when I print, not even a blinking printer light. I removed my second port on the off chance that maybe it was causing a conflict. Same result. I completely reinstalled from scratch, thinking that maybe I had screwed up in the install. Same result. Do any of you have any ideas? I am about at my wits end here. If I was at least getting an error message, I might know where to turn, but I am not even getting that! Thanks in advance! Wendell Gragg [EMAIL PROTECTED]
