I have been trying to get my Canon BJC-4000 running, with no success. CUPS doesn't work, despite some assistance form this list. Printtool tells me that I do not have parport compiled into the kernel, which is not the case (yes, I verified that it appears in dmesg, and I had my old dot-matrix printer running just fine before this started).
I'm beginning to think I have a hardware problem with the port itself, though there may be some software issue that I am missing. Is there a diagnostic (I've been searching through Google and a couple of manuals I have without success) that will verify whether my parallel port is actually functional? Does anyone have an idea what may be holding up progress? TIA Cam -- Cam Ellison Ph.D. R.Psych. From Roberts Creek on B.C.'s incomparable Sunshine Coast [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
