Re: lpr problem [Ooops, forgot infos]
I dont know what exactly is installed when(if) your using a debian binary
kernel but if your compiling from source make sure you enable the Parellel
printer support option in character devices when your making the kernel.
I also suggest you cat a file directly to the port and see what
happens. at least then you know you have communication and later you can
work on the lpd/magicfilter problems.
