Now the problem is much worse, with dozens of errors per page, maybe evening averaging one error per line of text (when printing a plain-text file).I'm taking a _very_ wild guess here: perhaps you are using the wrong PPD file. Have you tried with alternative ones (perhaps downloading a new one from linuxprinting.org)?
I'll double check. However, I'm pretty sure I've got the right PPD file. Also, given that the spurious characters appear at different places in the printout when I try again suggests that something random is going on (dropped or extra characters in the output stream), which doesn't sound like having the wrong PPD file. Oh--another thing is that since upgrading to Sarge and 2.6.8 (2.6.8-2-k7-smp), trying to print occasionally hangs the entire system. That suggests a problem with the parallel port driver or something closer to that later. Daniel
