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.
