Following the Print-HOWTO, I did this from root: # cat /etc/printcap > /dev/lp1
My printer's LED blinked, with no further response after. /proc/devices shows that lp exists; `dmesg | grep lp' shows that my printer is recognized at port 0x378 (the IRQ should be 7, but I could not verify this from Linux). QUESTION: Does this mean my printer is `Windows-based', ie, unusable under Linux? [If not, is there some other way to determine an answer to this question?] Regards, -c ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
