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? -- doom == sealed in an unpleasant fate doom == rockin' oldschool FPS. doom == where ol' pete is heading fast doom = city in eastern france uh oh... bazik just reassigned doom to something new. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
