Many thanks, looked real promising with great hope I re-tryed it but lp0 gives ... test@debian:~$ su Password: debian:/home/test# escputil -r /dev/lp0 -i Escputil version 4.2.0, Copyright (C) 2000-2001 Robert Krawitz Escputil comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type 'escputil -l' This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; type 'escputil -l' for details. Cannot read from /dev/lp0: Invalid argument debian:/home/test# So looks like I have another problem apart from using the wrong /dev/ !!!!
