OK, I recompiled my kernel with the parallel port compiled in, instead of a module, and with the IEE mode enable, and now the CUPS web interface sees the printer, and knows what it is! This isporgress.
Problem is that when I send it a test page, it just sits there. If I push the top button on the printer (form feed if I recall coreclty?) The test pages comes ut lookin nice, but the CUPS interface thinks that I need to restart the printer. As evicenced by the "Start Printer" choice, intead of the "Stop Printer" choice apearing. Also the CUPS system does not think that the job got printed, and it tries to print it agian :-( Sugestions? -- Stan Brown [EMAIL PROTECTED] 843-745-3154 Charleston SC. -- Windows 98: n. useless extension to a minor patch release for 32-bit extensions and a graphical shell for a 16-bit patch to an 8-bit operating system originally coded for a 4-bit microprocessor, written by a 2-bit company that can't stand for 1 bit of competition. - (c) 2000 Stan Brown.
