Earlier, I was using 2.6.16 and hpoj driver, but for now it's deprecated. Emerge says that I should use hplip - buy it doesn't support my printer. I can't understand how to use ljet4 from ghostscript at all...( Also, I dunno how enable LPT port support - I've turned on IEEE 1294 and parallel port support in kernel, but there are no /dev/lpt or /dev/parport. Help me plz.
