I believe it is /dev/lp1=lpt1:. Are you sure you are using the correct device ?
-----Original Message----- From: Debian Mail [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 06, 1999 10:11 AM To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: problem with /dev/lp0 I use Debian with kernel 2.0.36. All information I can get from the BIOS of my Intel PC about the parallel port ist, that io is 0x278 and that the mode is normal (other possible modes: ECP, EPP 1.9 and EPP 1.7). So I say modprobe lp io=0x278. The printer is a HP LaserJet 4P connected trough a bidirectional parallel cable. Since printing trough magicfilter does not work, I tried to generate a file using gslj and send that directly to /dev/lp0: cat file.lj > /dev/lp0 This takes about 4 seconds and produces no error. But nothing is printed and there is no error message on the printer. tunelp /dev/lp0 -s gives the following: /dev/lp0 status is 240, out of paper, on-line, error but the printer is not out of paper and displays no error. Also printing works if the printer is connected to a Windows NT machine. tunelp /dev/lp0 tells me that lp0 is using polling. lp1 and lp2 are not configured. cat /proc/interrupts gives: 0: 8290233 timer 1: 35309 keyboard 2: 0 cascade 3: 188 + serial 4: 73807 + serial 8: 2 + rtc 9: 116284 NE2000 13: 1 math error 14: 4628478 + ide0 Why does printing not work?
