[gentoo-user] cups and parallel printing

[Glenn Enright <elinar@ihug.co.nz>]

I strugglung to get my hp720c printer to work under my latest install.
I have tried many things as follows... 
 * emerged ghostscript, foomatic, pnm2ppd, and cups
 * fiddled with kernel settings re plugnplay related to a bug mentioned ealier 
on the list.

I can print to files in whatever format, and I im leaning towards a fault with 
the kernel or device that is being created. Even sending text to the device 
doesnt work. odd thing is that cups knows what the printer is and where it 
is. It just wont print anything.

The printer does work, I had it going under an older knoppix build 3.??. So 
that must mean all the hardware is fine too. Starting to pull my hair out 
here after no printer for several weeks. Can anyone help? Pretty please?
