I don't think its a kernel bug. I just did a new install and am using kernel-2.6.14-rc1 (i also tried the Debian kernel-2.6.12). To use printing i did this: install lpr and magicfilter run magicfilterconfig to create a /etc/printcap file for my Epson start the daemon: /etc/init.d/lpd start check that i have /dev/lp0 (with UDEV i had to make this) run lpc status -> shows if printing is enabled See if all the above checks out, then try to print and check the logs. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
