i have a parallel-port EPSON Dot Matrix LX-300+ printer and i printed |

| 5 |
any single trouble. in Gentoo i am unable to make it print i did all |
| 6 |
these: |

|
| 8 |
1.) compiled with the options described in Gentoo Printing Wiki |

(NOTICE: last option, IEEE...., was not present in the latest kernel i |
| 21 |
am using: 2.6.19-gentoo-r5 BUt some other option was there and i |
| 22 |
selected that, it was similar to the one) |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
2.) did "emerge cups" |
| 25 |
3.) opened "localhost:631" in Firefox and created a printer, using the |
| 26 |
same drivers i used on other distros: Generic -> IBMpro generic driver |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
3.) i can see the printing JOBS in "localhost:631" but those JOBS do |
| 29 |
NOT get printed. |
