Did you enable IEEE1284 transfer mode? In the kernel configurartion
that would be:
CONFIG_PARPORT_1284=y
Sorry, but I compiled the sfuff into my custom kernel. So I'm not
sure what the appropriate vanilla kernel module would be, though I
suppose it would be something like "modprobe 1284" or a corresponding
entry in your "/etc/modules" file.
Also, what printer are you using? Some printers reject plain ASCII.
