You might try # cat > /dev/lp1 Hello world. <ctrl-l> <ctrl-d> Cycle through lp1, lp2, lp3 etcetera to find your printer device. Then make sure your device is connected in software: # printtool to the lpd daemon. -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.

Not sure wat you mean by "device is connected...to the lpd daemon." In printtool I choose 'Local' (because 'LPD' option prompts me for a server, which does not apply here), and driver 'hpijs' under the 'hp692c' heading. After I 'create' the software printer I get 'lpd restarted successfully'. Then , 'There was an error trying to print the test page.' Chris -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.
