Obviously.
I begin to suspect there is a cable problem, with windows95 and
directly with postscript I can print, but when lpq says that lp is
ready and printing I notice that the data led on my printer lights,
and sometimes the printer loads a sheet of paper. I will try another
printer cable. But the question is, what "handshake" the lpd do
with the printer? I mean, what return value lpd would receive from
the printer before send another data?
