I have a Canon BJC-3000. I un-hashed the default "printcap" file to have a basic lpt0 printer - but nothing prints. I type in the command lptcontrol -i followed by lpd but when I print something - nothing comes out at the printer. The "lpq" contains no items and I know it's being sent through because if I don't use the command "lpd", the jobs get stored in the queue until I do lpd. "dmesg" contains the following details: ppc: at port 0x378-0x37f irq 7 on isa0 ppc0: Generic chipset (EPP/NIBBLE) in COMPATIBLE mode ppbus0: IEEE1284 device found /NIBBLE ppbus0: Printer BJL,BJRaster3,BSCC,TXT01,BJScan2 plip0: on ppbus0 lpt0: on ppbus0 lpt0: Interrupt-driven port ppi0: on ppbus0 Thanks all - I look forward to your reply Phil.
