Hello, I want to thanks people that answer me : Trond Endretol, Vivek Khera, Michel Talon and Gert-Jan Vons They proposed to me 2 solutions : 1. make a "lptcontrol -p" before using the printer, to configure the parallel port in poll mode. 2. modify the ppc entry in the kernel config file, and build a new kernel --- device ppc0 at isa? port? flags 0x40 net irq 7 +++ device ppc0 at isa? port? flags 0x40 tty irq 7 this 2 solutions work correctly with the lpt driver. best regards. -- David Berard wrote: ... > For example, if I try to print one of the postscript examples (tiger.ps) > from de ghostscript port (gs 5.50), I obtain more or less the picture, > but with some incorrect lines, and some garbages (cabalistic > characters), and sometime unattended formfeed. > > I think lpt0 (ex nlpt0 device) is the problem, because if I change in > the BIOS the mode of the parallel port (SPP, EPP 1.7, EPP 1.9, EPP+ECP), > I don't obtain the same results. > > I also try to play with the flags of ppc device in the kernel config > file, but with no luck. ...
