OK .. here's what I believe to be the relative dmesg lines:
| Code: |
---snip---
mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice
serio: i8042 AUX port at 0x60,0x64 irq 12
input: PS/2 Logitech Mouse on isa0060/serio1
serio: i8042 KBD port at 0x60,0x64 irq 1
input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard on isa0060/serio0
Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 128x48
lp: driver loaded but no devices found
ppdev: user-space parallel port driver
--snip----
|
a bit later in dmesg we get
| Code: |
--snip---
parport: PnPBIOS parport detected.
parport0: PC-style at 0x378 (0x778), irq 7, dma 3 [PCSPP,TRISTATE,COMPAT,ECP,D
MA]
parport0: faking semi-colon
parport0: Printer, HEWLETT-PACKARD DESKJET 720C
lp0: using parport0 (interrupt-driven).
lp0: console ready
--snip--

Ok, so the printer is seen by the kernel. But when I cat a file out to the printer nothing happens. Data light doesn't blink, nothing.
I put a light box on the cable to verify and sure enough, no data is coming down the pipe.
Everything works under windows on the same box.
Parrallel port is enabled in the bios.
From my .config
[code]
#
# Parallel port support
#
CONFIG_PARPORT=y
CONFIG_PARPORT_PC=y
CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_CML1=m
CONFIG_PARPORT_SERIAL=m
CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_FIFO=y
CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_SUPERIO=y
CONFIG_PARPORT_OTHER=y
CONFIG_PARPORT_1284=y
#
# Plug and Play support
#
CONFIG_PNP=y
[code]
Any thoughts? |

Have you emerged cups (Common Unix Printing System), set up printing from within cups and then rc-update add cupsd default?
