I am not so sure I see what the problem is. I just tried this on my machine running 2.0.5-ALPHA and get the same results for your 'test', yet have no problems printing with lpr. Unfortunately, I was far too far away to turn on the printer, an lj4m. Are you saying that lpt0 acts as if you printer is off-line all the time? cheers, Adrian adrian@virginia.edu ---->>>>| Support your local programmer, http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~atf3r/ --->>>| STOP Software Patent Abuses NOW!
