But, when i do subsequent tests with the same *test line*, won't print Jack.... just blank sheets of paper get thrown at me by the printer. In addition, when i try to print a simple text file with *cat file-name > /dev/lpt0* the files pile up in the que (lpq) but never printer. <-- not even blank sheets of paper.
