Strange problem here: I have an HP Laserjet 6L parallel printer connected through an parallel/USB convertor cable to the USB port of my pc. I'm running debian with the 2.4.20 kernel, usb-ohci, ehci-hcd and printer modules loaded, usb-core compiled in the kernel. USB filesystem mounted and all, my USB external floppy drive works perfectly. So it should print, but when I try
echo hello > /dev/usb/lp0 it does nothing. No 'device not found' or anything (which I *do* get when I send it to /dev/usb/lp1). The funny bit is, that some time ago, when I was still trying to get the floppy drive to work, I *did* manage to print a page by sending an asci file to /dev/usb/lp0. I tried using printtool, but that just gives me an error when I try to do a test printing: Error printing test page to queue lp Error reason: connect: lpr: No such file or directory jobs queued, but cannot start daemon Any ideas on what exactly is going wrong, because I'm totally out of ideas. -- Alex Borghgraef -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
