config printer


Hi,
I 've just install Linuxmint close to ubuntu, (I know this is not pure debian, the question is general)

I tried to configure the epson printer 6200, (on paralelle port), it is detected, it seems running correctly;, but when I send the test page nothind is printer. I used cups thru the web localhost::631, I do it again with the admin printer in elyssa menu(XFCE), same problem.

I used from line command
lpr file
It is sent, since lpq gave nothing in queue, but noting on printer
Where is the file ? not in queue , not on printer ??


thanks for help
best regard
bela

Hmmm,

Would you run the command '/sbin/lsmod | grep parport' ( without the quotes ) and post the results. The parallel port modules may not be loaded. This is what it will look like if they are loaded.

/sbin/lsmod | grep parport
parport_pc 31716 1
parport 31592 3 ppdev,lp,parport_pc

3 different drivers may work (Mostly)
