I have a so called Windows printer. As far I now I can't just print ascii to it, but hopefully I'm wrong. In which case I would appreciate you to tell me how I should do this. I tried to echo something to lpt0 but it didn't work. At boot time the printer is recognised however. I'm very much thinking about giving it up and give lpd a try instead. Is that may be better?
