I am trying to print to an Epson Color Stylus 740i via the printer/modem
port. I am running Debian 3.0, 2.4.18 kernel, on a PowerBook G3 233MHz
(1998 vintage). I have the entire CUPS system installed including the
Ghostsript drivers. I have also scoured many news group searchs (thank
goodness for Google), tried many suggestions all to no avail.
I have tried:
$> echo -en "hello\f" >/dev/ttyS0
and
$> echo -en "hello\f" >/dev/tty00
I have followed the simple set up instructions provided by CUPS and followed
most of the info at < www.linuxprinting.com >. Below is a copy of stty:
$>stty -a </dev/ttyS0
speed 38400 baud; rows 0; columns 0; line = 0;
intr = ^C; quit = ^\; erase = ^?; kill = ^U; eof = ^D; eol = <undef>;
eol2 = <undef>; start = ^Q; stop = ^S; susp = ^Z; rprnt = ^R; werase = ^W;
lnext = ^V; flush = ^U; min = 1; time = 0;

here is a copy of my /var/log/messages pertaining to serial ports. The full
(edited) one is attached.
Sep 19 23:52:20 gandalf kernel: PowerMac Z8530 serial driver version 2.0
Sep 19 23:52:20 gandalf kernel: tty00 at 0xc510e020 (irq = 15) is a Z8530
ESCC, port = modem-printer
Sep 19 23:52:20 gandalf kernel: tty01 at 0xc5115000 (irq = 16) is a Z8530
ESCC, port = infrared (IrDA)
Sep 19 23:52:20 gandalf kernel: tty02 at 0xc511b020 (irq = 79) is a Z8530
ESCC, port = internal-modem (internal modem)
Any (easy) way to fix this would be great.
Cheers,
Scott
