Tinycore Parallel port printing problem

[Shyam24689]

one interesting fact which i noticed between tinycore os and ther os i which printer is working...

the output of ls -l /dev/lp0 in tiny core is
crw-rw----   1  root    staff     6,   0 May   2  21:00  /dev/lp0

Whereas in other OS
crw-rw----   1  root    lp     6,   0 May   2  21:00  /dev/lp0

Does staff/lp  makes any difference while accessing the port...

Hi Shyam24689

but the command prompt appeared to get hanged without giving the next command cursor

That sounds like the printer is not acknowledging that it received data. Power the printer down and back up and make
sure the the online light is lit. Then execute:

Code: [Select]

echo -ne \\f > /dev/lp0and see if you get a form feed.

Hi Shyam24689

Does staff/lp  makes any difference while accessing the port...

Staff is the group that lp0 belongs to. As user tc, you also belong to that group and have permission to access it.
By any chance, do you have more than one parallel port?

[Shyam24689]

Yesss i received a form feed.... but why is it not accepting text file through text2lp0

[Rich]

Hi Shyam24689
If you enter:

Code: [Select]

text2lp0 .xsessiondoes it print anything?

[Shyam24689]

No i dont have any other parallel port.....

text2lp0 .xsession din't worked it hangs the command line

[Rich]

Hi Shyam24689
OK, how about:

Code: [Select]

cat .xsession > /dev/lp0
echo -ne \\f > /dev/lp0

[Shyam24689]

It hangs... even for cat .xsession > /dev/lp0

Hi

If you like to try something a bit wilder?

load cups,  gutenprint and ghostscript......you may have to download these monsters first

create root passwd as per info file  $sudo passwd

http://localhost:631/admin  <<--- go to this page in web browser and click on add printers to see root login box

input root and your new passwd......its saved for this session only so if it does not work....you have no persistence for cups

after a short pause.....it may offer some printer makers

choose Epson 24 pin.......click add printer and then save the defaults

here is a peek of the PPD  in a code box for display purposes only......your will differ as I am testing 1.6.2 vesion

Note I am in aussie land with locale set to A4 paper......if you have your locale set, paper default will differ

then see if it prints

if not go back to admin page and Edit the config to almost top line to
LogLevel debug

Next saving it......will restart cups

try to print and if no good.....post your debug file if you feel like it

###########

Much harder is to create your own PPD using ppdc  but I am not sure it was designed for 24 pins

good luck

[Shyam24689]

Still no luck

text2lp0 requires no drivers... what could be the reason if it is not working?

Should i change the system and try to install in other PC

Hi Shyam24689
You've verified that the printer responds to a line feed with:

Code: [Select]

echo -ne \\f > /dev/lp0If you execute it twice, does it respond the second time?
If it does, try:

Code: [Select]

cat - /dev/lp0then type some text, press enter, and Ctrl Z. Did it print what you typed?

[Shyam24689]

Executing line feed twice or thrice responds every time..
But cat - /dev/lp0 "text"      Enter and ctrl Z gives no print...

[Rich]

Hi Shyam24689
Maybe your printer wants a CR/LF sequence:

Code: [Select]

cp .xsession testfile
unix2dos testfile
cat testfile > /dev/lp0

[Shyam24689]

It hanged... then ctrl Z sudo echo -ne \\f > /dev/lp0 gives device or resource busy
