Printer Model - EPSON STYLUS PHOTO 1200 MANUFACTURER:EPSON; DESCRIPTION:EPSON Stylus Photo 1200; COMMAND SET:ESCPL2,BDC,D4; All above fetched succesfully by parport_probe Result of Print Ascii test page - no response in printer Print ASCII directly to port - no response from printer If I connect an EPSON COLOUR 800 printer first and install the driver for the ESC/P2 printer and then remove the parallel port from the back of the printer and connect it to the STYLUS PHOTO 1200, then the ASCII test page prints correctly. The post-script test page prints with wrong colours. The status for lp in /var/spool/lpd/lp/status is lp is ready and printing. But whatever I do the printer is stone dead and does not respond - when I try to install it using printtool. I have tried both gnu ghostscript 5.50 as well as alladin 6.01.. I am using redhat 6.2.. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. Rams,
Does something simple like echo "Test Test Test" >/dev/lp0 work? If not, what error message does it output? Do you have the line alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc in /etc/conf.modules?
