hello all i am completely at loss when it comes to printing. i have tried and tried and tried. and failed! i have read www.linuxprinting.com/howto - no use still. now, here are my questions: i run debian woody 3.0 and i have a good working hp deskjet 710c connected to my parellel port. what kernel modules do i need to load so that i am able to print? there is an entry /dev/lp0 and this is how it looks: crw-rw---- 1 root lp 6, 0 Mar 15 2002 /dev/lp0 sandip is part of lp group. if i issue echo "GARBAGE" > /dev/lp0 just plain nothing happens!! why is that so? what do i need to do to set it right? i think this is crux of my printing problems! for i think unless something happens on that command, not much can be expected to happen. any suggestions? thanx in advance sandip p deshmukh ------***-------- (null cookie; hope that's ok)
