I have a problem with the setup of a Canon S200x printer. The kernel detects the printer at ulpt0. I read the HANDBOOK - to test the printer I must type lptest > /dev/ulpt0, which I did. But nothing happend and I don't know what to do because I read many articles about other people having the same problem, but nobody told me how to solve it. What are the things that I miss, if any? Someone on a Forum wrote that, because lptest supports only old models of printers, I must use ghostscript (which I don't know how to use) or another similar program to test the printer. I installed CUPS, but when I configured it and everything looked fine, I pressed "print" and a progress bar (on GIMP) showed up, reached the end and disappeared. I think that this means the system send a call to the printer. Is this what it means? But the printer (like with lptest) did not respond. I have plugged in all the cables.
