You remembered right :-)
I am a few steps further but not quite there yet. The mknod did create
/dev/lp0. When I ran "printconf" after that, it recognised a HP DeskJet
842c on the parallel port (close enough -- it's an 840 in reality). I
don;t know how cups/printconf detects their printers but to me this
looks like good communication over the parallel port. lpstat -p says:
printer deskjet_842c is idle. enabled since Thu 22 Mar 2007 12:39:29 AM UTC
However, when I try to print something and run lpstat again to it I get:
printer deskjet_842c disabled since Thu 22 Mar 2007 12:24:40 AM UTC -
/usr/lib/cups/backend/parallel failed
Now, I should say that the ink warning light is flickering on the
printer. There's black ink I think, but no more color ink.mI'm going to
get some fresh cartriges tomorrow. I don't know that well how cups
works, but can the lack of ink cause the "parallel failed" message?
Almost there! Kind regards,
