Hi, I'm sorry to jump in on a discussion like this but my problem relates - I think. My system is from the 1.3.1 cd and is basically unmodified as far as the kernel is concerned. During boot the system hangs on loading the lp module. I do a control c and go on from there. Later - looking at

I guess I was unclear. I tried /dev/lp0 , /dev/lp1, /dev/lp2, and /dev/lp3. Anyway, I tried reconfiguring magicfuilter, as suggested by Bob Nielsen and that didn't help. I still get the same error message whether redirecting directly to lp1 or using lpr. What do you get at the e

I am having trouble getting printing setup with a bo. I have a Canon BJC-4100, but I don' think the printer is the problem. I had been playing around with lpr/LPRng, printcap, etc. when I finally realized that I forgot add parallel printing support when I installed Debian. So I went back to the re
