Testing the functionality of a parallel port...
How does one go about testing the functionality of the parallel port on
their computer?
I am trying to get my Samsung ML-1450 working with my Debian Woody
workstation and I am having no luck. I have downloaded the drivers from
Samsung for this printer and went through the setup. I am using lpr to do
my printing. I have built a custom kernel for this computer as well.
lsmod shows:
Module Size Used by Tainted: PF
parport_pc 12932 0 (unused)
parport 13856 0 [parport_pc]
vmnet 20704 4
vmmon 19508 0
If I print a test page using the Linux Printer Configuration that comes with
the Samsung Printer, I get the message that the printer is "waiting for lp
to become ready (offline ?)".
If I type lpq, I get the following...
waiting for lp to become ready (offline ?)
Rank Owner Job Files Total Size
1st root 13 (standard input) 58602 bytes
I have greped for things that I thought would be relevant in /var/log and
could not find anything out of the ordinary. Any ideas?
