Hi, When i do: cp test.txt /dev/lp0 shouldn't it blindly copy the text to the port and return immediately? (it hangs)
That depends, in some cases that could work unless you have a printer like hp deskjet 710, 720 etc who require additional filtering, the models mentioned require (cpu intensive) filtering thru a pnm2ppa filter.
It would be a good idea to mention which printer you are using
It's a lexmark postscript laser (optra R+). I was wondering if the command should work even if there was no printer connected.
