I'm trying to set up a printer on 4.2-stable and running into some
problems. I looked at the handbook, and figured that sensably enough,
the first thing to do was to try lptest > lpt0 to see if everything was
talking nicely. After a second or 5, it printed one line of the ascii
charactor set across the top of the page (from ! to o) and then a " at
the righthand end of the next line, then ejected that sheet of paper,
loaded another, and sat there. The trouble shooting section of the
handbook doesn't appear to deal with this situation. For the record, I
also attempted to install apsfilter6 - it installed ok, but the test
page printing took forever (I mean hours and hours) and nothing seems to
be able to print - actually, it doesn't look like apsfilter wrote
anything to the /etc/printcap file. For the record, aplicable hardware is:
Duron 800 on Asus A7V
Deskjet 812c on the parallel port
