If you wouldn't mind, I have some troubleshooting suggestions. It appears that perhaps you might have some problems with the actual printer interface (/dev/lp0), so let's make sure that works well. FIrst, make sure nothing, even lprng, is using /dev/lp0 - shut down lprng and make sure there are no processes left around. Then run the following command: /bin/echo -e -n Hello\\015\\012World\\015\\012\\014 >textfile.txt And finally cat textfile.txt >/dev/lp0 This should print out Hello World followed by a form feed. Unless this works, there's not much use trying to get lprng (or even CUPS) to work. -- Manuel A.
