Package: hpoj
Version: 0.91-4
Severity: important
ptal-init setup command is unable to comunicate with parallel printers.
I tried it with two printers (an "DESKJET 1120C" and an "HP Laserjet
4100"), two computers and two cables. This is the output of ptal-init
setup:
Probe parallel port "-base 0x378 -basehigh 0x778 -device /dev/lp0"
(y/[n])? y
*** Found "DESKJET 1120C" but failed to communicate with it!
*** Elapsed time for this attempt was 1 second(s).
*** Check syslog file for ptal-mlcd error messages.
*** See hpoj documentation for troubleshooting information.
I am able to print to the printer through the pararalel backend provided
by cupsys.
The content of /proc/sys/dev/parport/parport0/modes is
PCSPP,TRISTATE,COMPAT,ECP,DMA
The content of /proc/sys/dev/parport/parport0/base-addr is
888 1912
translated to hexadecimal gives 0x378 0x778
The output in /var/log/syslog is
