I have a Cannon BJC-1000 connected to my SuSE 6.3 box. on bootup, I see in my dmesg: parport0: PC-style at 0x378 [SPP] cat /proc/parport/0/autoprobe showes: CLASS:PRINTER; MODEL:BJC-1000; MANUFACTURER:Canon; DESCRIPTION:Canon BJC-1000; COMMAND SET:BJL,BJRaster,BSCC,TXT01;
So far so good.
now as root: cat test > /dev/lp0
but nothing appears on the printer.
The printer shoots out a sheet of paper when I boot the PC down. Also, If I use lpr then lpq showes no queued items.
Any suggestions as to what maybe wrong.
