Hi all, meanwhile my Ultra1 (sarge, kernel 2.4.27-2) can print via its serial port to the attached HP-Laserjet4P; the spooler I use is CUPS. Next thing I want to do is using this printer as a remote printer. This is difficult in so far as the print client is no Debian system, but a SUN box runnin

Hi netters, I want to use my Ultra1 (sarge, kernel 2.4.27-2) as a print server. As the parallel port of the Ultra1 is not working for Debian Linux, its serial port was my last resort. After configuring the serial interfaces of the printer (HP-LaserJet4P), setting up the serial interface of the U

Hi all, I have am Ultra1 with sarge installed (kernel 2.4.27-2-sparc64). I want to use it as a headless printserver. Although I compiled a custom kernel with "CONFIG_PARPORT_SUNBPP=m" enabled the parallel port doesn't work. Doing a "cat ~/.bashrc > /dev/lp0" results in an error message on the pr

Hi netters, I installed a fresh debian sarge distribution (kernel 2.4.27-2-sparc64) on my headless Ultra1, compiled a custom kernel (with the parallel port configured), loaded the SUNBPP-module, but could not print any character. The only action my printer (laserjet4P) does is showing an error mes
