Hi, I have a Epsom printer with a USB port and have configured USB and ulpt
suport in my kernel. When I print I via the parallel port I get output, but
when I try via the ulpt0 port the printer cariage moves for a couple of
seconds, but no output. Anyone any ideas?
I am trying to keep the "lpt" port free for a postscript printer, all though
if anyone knows how to print to a "TCP/IP stream" type network printer that
would me be most useful as well, as the printer has a network port that is
connected and configured.
Below please find the relvent sections from "printcap", kernel config, dmesg
and the input filter script.
Thanks
David.
