Incredible, I have changed the printer cable, and now the Epson Stylus prints! I have also had to use the tunelp program, but with the old cable it had no effect, with the new I cannot understand why a cable let some program print and other no. I thank You for your interest, expecially

I can not comment on the thread as developed so far, but let me add that since I have moved to debian1.1, lpr does not reliably print to a printer that worked for 0.93. The printer is an Apple 16/600 accessed directly via tcp/ip. If i send a printjob to a different IP address that is a Gatorbox
