Printer woes
I recently acquired an HP LaserJet 1100, and once again, I find myself wrestling with cups. The printer connects to the parallel port, and is configured to use the HP LaserJet 1100 hpijs driver; upon printing a test page, cups doesn't complain, no errors are reported, and everything is fine with the exception of the fact that no printing occurs.
so far I've checked cups' error log as well as my system logs, shut down my firewall to make sure it wasn't blocking port 631, made sure that lpr wasn't running, tried printing from the command line, recompiled the kernel to add IEEE 1284 transfer support, googled like crazy, searched various forums and discussion groups, and I'm still at square one. Any advice?
By the way, this is on Slackware 10 with kernel 2.6.7.
