[plug] Printer port problem

[Len Bird]

Have you configured the Printer setup from X-Terminal? If not boot up, run
startx, open a Terminal Window activate it, and run SU (password) then type
printoool (return) this will enable you to configure the printer/ printport etc.
Precisely which Epson Printer emulation is appopriate you may need to fudge a
bit, try the simplest one first. Printoold allows you to do a test run anyhow to
see if you have picked an acceptable emulation.  As you said it is probably
something simple, it always is, but indtifying it is something else,

Regards,   Len Bird.
