Hi Lukasz,

sorry but there is much in the HOWTO what you don't mention:
- did you check the BIOS?
- did you check /etc/irda.conf ?
- did you restart IrDA then with /etc/init.d/irda restart ?
- did you watch irdadump then and is the printer recognized?
- are all the devices ircomm0, irlpt0 existing and do the bear
  the right major and minor number?
- did you try any debug options?
- what does dmesg or /var/log/messages tell you about the problem?
