If your printcap is setup correctly, I dont know. Are you sure you
moved the new one into place? Your using the right port? /dev/lp0 (if
on the parralel port). Have the correct kernel modules loaded? Is it
using the proper driver? Im reading from the driver description that it
is like a winmodem in the fact that it is a proprietary protocol. But
linuxprinting.org says it works perfectly. Im not sure. Im reading
some stuff there. Checkout:

Other than that, its past my bed time and I have class too early
tomarrow morning. If you cant get it with this stuff send me a private
email tomarrow and we will see what we can do.
