Hi Is there anyone that knows anything about printing that can help me? dmesg (snippet) output: ---8<--- parport0: PC-style at 0x378 [PCSPP,TRISTATE] lp0: using parport0 (polling). lp0: console ready ---8<--- Jobs can be submitted but just sit there interminably.

I must have a hole in my head because I can't work this out...Any help is appreciated.
