Hm. Apparently, this printer should be able to use HP Deskjet 500/500c drivers under DOS. (Loathe...) But no reactions whatsoever. cat foo.bar > /dev/lp0 gives no reaction whatsoever. Kinda irritating this. Anyhow, a dmesg gives the following: parport0: PC-style at 0x378 [SPP,PS2] parport0: Unspecified, Lexmark Lexmark 3200 lp0: using parport0 (polling). And, utilizing the wonderful tool printop: opening device '/dev/lp0' at 22:02 printing job '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' at 22:02 printing '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' starting 0F at 22:02 printing data file dfA562moonspell', size 151670 at 22:02 --- so far, so good, no reaction, then... --- finished '[EMAIL PROTECTED]', status 'JSUCC' at 22:03 subserver pid 564 exit status 'JSUCC' at 22:03 [EMAIL PROTECTED]: job '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' printed at 22:03 job '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' removed at 22:03 .. and still no printout. Danggnabbit! This really irritates me. Well, if anyone has any suggestions, please come forth with them.

Well, if it could be done a little nicer... And more Debianized... :) -- .--------------- -- - -- -- +- | Martin Högman [ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ] | [ http://skyscraper.fotunecity.com/integer/36 ] `------------------+ --- - -- +
