I'm trying to connect a Lexmark Optra S printer to a server. The Optra
S is a parallel port laser printer. It uses an IEEE1284 cable and is
accessible in nibble/byte/ECP mode.
I've purchased a new IEEE1284 printer cable. On the server I've set the
port to ECP/EPP. I can't get kudzu to recognize the printer. I can't
get printer-gui to find it either.
I've gotten it to work on my laptop, but I think that is because the
printer was configured to work with it a few months back.
Any ideas on how to get the printer recognized by the server ? Is there
a way to get the parallel port to scan for devices in ECP mode ?
The server is running FC3 with all the updates.
