First of all, my netscape button bar is in black and white, but all other

Set up 16 or 32 bits per pixel with XFDrake, the problem appears only
with 24 bits per pixel.
Finally, I have a Cannon Bubblejet 100 (yup ... the really old one) plugged
into LPT1 (which is lp0 I guess, in Linux). After setting it up, it asks me
if I want to do a test page. I say yes and then it tells me that lp is not
ready. Needless to say, nothing comes out.
Try the following possibilities:
1. How did you install the printer? During installation, with
DrakConf/printerdrake, kups, the web interface, or lpadmin? Did the
program which you have used autodetect the printer? Which driver did you
choose. If your printer is not listed under the supported models, try at
first the Canon BJ 200, try also the BJ 10e.
2. When you start kups and choose "Printer" - "Add" and in the wizard
"local printer". Is your parallel port detected? Update cups to
1.1.4-7mdk from
http://www.mandrakesoft.com/~tkamppeter/packages/
and check again. If you have compiled the kernel by yourself, make sure
that it supports the parallel port. The device file of the parallel port
is /dev/lp0. Try also to print by sending data (text file) directly to
/dev/lp0:
cat .bashrc /dev/lp0
do you get any printout? Do the LEDs of your printer blink? Do you get
any error message?
