Look at the past months mail archive for discussion on this.
I have a Brother HL-10V worling fine using magicfilter. Could only
get a great test page out of apsfilter. :(
Works for every program I have tried.
One other thought. Have you compiled the kernel correctly? A lot of
parport options there. Also have you included the parport options in
the appends= in lilo.conf? ie:
append = "lp=parport0 parport=0x378,none"
( 'none' means don't ise an IRQ, which isn't required for the printer)
:-) HTH, YMMV, HAND :-)

There can never be a computer language in which you cannot write a
bad program.
