Thanks a bunch for that one! I would never come up with that on my own,
well maybe at some point, but you saved me lots more trouble.

]]>My PC has found my printer!!
....only one small problem...
regardless of what I try to print(test page, document, image....)the printer pulls the paper through-the first page conainting the text "%!PS-
Adobe-1.0, %Bounding box: 0 0 612 791, %%Creator: KEDit,%%Title: (New Document" followed by 13 pages of blank....maybe more but i let the printer run out of paper...
But definitely some progress...
Any thoughts on the now renegade printer would be greatly appreciated.

]]>been trying to configure a printer for a week, starting to feel really silly and a bit irritated........printer install should=not brain surgery......
got cups up and running,
tried /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p DeskJet -E -v parallell:/dev/lpl -m deskjet.ppd
and got failed-client-error-not possible
kde config utility won't allow parallel as a choice (empty uri error)
tried the [printer as usb also (it'll be either...)
all seems to go well but will never print test page..
Have read cups docs, googled til i'm blue in the face, checked the parallel
port kernel module to make sure it exists...
Could anyone suggest what it is that I'm overlooking. I only know enough about linux to be sure that this is something that I did wrong or overlooked....
help!?!?!
