(other DebianTips)
Debian Squeeze
Slightly peculiar setup using an old LaserJet 4l laser printer with a USB parallel port adaptor.
Using hplip, hplip-cups. Cups won't see the printer until you install hplip, but then it shows up in the "add printer" list as "HP Printer".
Printer connection URL is
usb://HP/LaserJet%204L
.
Driver is
HP LaserJet 4L - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.5 (grayscale)
.
Debian 3.0 a/k/a Woody
I'm using foomatic, lprng.
The Epson Stylus config file appears to be /usr/share/foomatic/db/source/printer/83520.xml
foomatic-configure -n queue1 -c file:/dev/lp0 -p 83520 -d gimp-print
adds an entry in
/etc/printcap
.
Debian 2.2 a/k/a Potato
I'm running Debian 2.2 (a.k.a. Potato).
First get the right kernel modules set up - you need parport.o, parport_pc.o and lp.o. I had to add a line to /etc/modutils/arch/i386:
options parport_pc io=0x378 irq=7
and then run
update-modules
.
For some reason CUPS had a problem with PAM so I couldn't connect as root so I couldn't add any printers. I think it's because I have something configured to not allow root to login remotely. Not sure how to change that.
I tried
lprng
with
apsfilter
and they seem to work great. I think that you need to restart lpd after you're done running apsfilterconfig:
# /etc/init.d/lprng restart
I have an old Epson Stylus Photo which seems to work fine with the "uniprint" drivers.
