1) Make sure that your kernel supports the parallel port and printers on the parallel port. 2) There is a printer howto (www.linxdoc.org). 3) With package magicfilter you can create filters that handle your printer jobs. That means, if you send a file to the printer, magicfilters looks at the file type and converts the file automatically into a format that is suitable for your printer (eg PCL). 4) I have installed lpr and magicfilter and that runs fine. However, I understand that CUPS is a modern alternative for the two (am I right?) Paul Huygen
