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 install apsfilter
which replaced magicfilter and ran apsfilterconfig. Printed marvelous
test page but
lp testtxt
still does not work. lpq reports nothing printable in que and aborts job.
Abiword does nothing, probably because the font path is incorrect - I
haven't found out how to fix this yet. I do have gs and gsfonts installed.
Any suggestions as to what to try next?
