Parallel printer

[Roberto Lionello <lionel@varda.saic.com>]

Hello,

I'm trying to set up a parallel printer on one of our PCs, running Debian
2.2. The kernel is 2.2.17 and I've installed the parport, parport_pc, and
lp modules. The printer is a Textronix Phaser 140.

dmesg reports this:

parport0: PC-style at 0x378, irq 7 [SPP,PS2,EPP]
lp0: using parport0 (interrupt-driven).
parport_probe: failed
parport0: no IEEE-1284 device present.

When I try to print I get the following:
lp0 out of paper

The printer prints fine on Windoze.
Is there a kind soul to help me solve this problem? Thanks!

Roberto
