How does one go about testing the functionality of the parallel port on their computer?
I am trying to get my Samsung ML-1450 working with my Debian Woody workstation and I am having no luck. I have downloaded the drivers from Samsung for this printer and went through the setup. I am using lpr to do my printing. I have built a custom kernel for this computer as well. lsmod shows: Module Size Used by Tainted: PF parport_pc 12932 0 (unused) parport 13856 0 [parport_pc] vmnet 20704 4 vmmon 19508 0 If I print a test page using the Linux Printer Configuration that comes with the Samsung Printer, I get the message that the printer is "waiting for lp to become ready (offline ?)". If I type lpq, I get the following... waiting for lp to become ready (offline ?) Rank Owner Job Files Total Size 1st root 13 (standard input) 58602 bytes I have greped for things that I thought would be relevant in /var/log and could not find anything out of the ordinary. Any ideas? Michael -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Michael T.
