I'm trying to configure an old Canon bj-200ex printer. When I use
system-config-printer and
specify Locally-connected printer the ap can't see the printer which is attached to
the parallel
port. Eventually I specify /dev/lp0 (or /dev/parport0) by handand continue with the
installation but
I'm unable to print to the printer. Is there any way of testing that the port is
working at
a very low level before I spend more time with the installation? I tried cat fil.nam
>/dev/lp0 but
that didn't work.
