What exactly is the problem? The only gotcha I remember was needing to switch the port to polled mode (``lptcontrol -p'') to prevent insanely slow printing. [Incidentally, the supplied Windows driver probably goes absolutely nuts with the polling, since printing anything from Windows makes the rest of the computer slow to the point of inusability]. I'd suggest your problem might not be with the printer itself (assuming the printer is known good). -- Only two other people have a .sig like this one.
