Ok, try a simple test......
create a short file of text, save it, and then try the following:
cat ./name_of_file_with_text | lpr
See if that works,

Thomas & all, I still get endless printed pages of odd character set output, so I abandoned printing again after trying this (IE, I turned the printer off again). However, there were no error messages reported when I piped the cat output to the printer. Somehow I have to clear the que first, but I can't seem to accomplish this.
