Trying to make printer (brother HL-730 on parallel port) work from
debian linux 2.2.19:
lp testtxt
and from Abiword in ximian gnome desk top. Compiled the kernel with
parallel printer support and autoprobe.
cat testtxt > /dev/lp0
works. On advice from ximian gnome chat group ran
apt-get
I have discovered that apsfilterconfig writes three filters for my
Brother HL-730 laser printer (which can simulate an HP LJIIP). In the
printcap file it generates I find
ascii|jet2p-letter-ascii-mono|jet2p

Until yesterday I only downloaded from the debian stable distributions.
Yesterday, to get stcolor.ppd, I used apt-get install cupsys after
updating the package list for the testing distribution. Three packages
were added and 14 upgraded.
I then ran lpadmin -p Epson -E -v usb:/dev/usb/lp0 -m
I compiled a 2.2.19 kernel with module support and sound modules for my
sound card selected, ran make modules and make modules_install, then
copied everything in /usr/src.../arch/i386/boot to /boot. The kernel
boots and all my regular programs run perfectly but dmseg contains
nothing to indica

I have a LAN connecting three Debian systems. Until now there has never
been a need to share printers as pre-LAN each system had its own printer.
