Has anyone had any luck setting up printing in Sourcemage. I've been
working primarily with cups, but have tried gnulpr with no more
success. I have all the proper modules loaded.

parport_pc 22024 1 (autoclean)
lp 6272 0 (autoclean)
parport 25664 1 (autoclean) [parport_pc lp]

and have changed the parallel port to /devices/printers/0 but still no
response. I can't even print a cups test page without it automatically
being cancelled.

My error-log lists it as:
I [14/Aug/2002:02:48:53 -0500] Job 8 queued on 'hpdj682c' by 'baron'.
E [14/Aug/2002:02:48:53 -0500] Unable to convert file 0 to printable
format for job 8!

I can 'cat' files directly to the port, but the printer doesn't know
what to make of the data so it seizes up moments after starting.

Any idea what I'm missing? I think I have every possible (not lpr
related) package installed, so I don't think it's a print filter.

Thanks for any advice,
Rog
