I just got an old HP Desk Jet 500 and connected to my 6.1 (2.2.12 kernel)
box. Printtool cannot autodetect the printer, although it's listed in
printtool. Since it doesn't see the printer, trying the "print ASCII
directly to printer port" menu item only returns an error, "no such
device". The box is dual boot, so I re-booted into win95 and confirmed the
printer and connection are OK. I've had one printer previously recognized
without problem by printtool, an old TI laser printer, running in HP
compatible mode; don't have that one any more, besides, a toner cartridge
for it now cost's more than a new ink jet printer.
What do I need to do to get linux to see the Desk Jet?
