It works!
My new printer works beautifully! After I had recompiled my kernel with
support for the parallel-port, it just worked. I started by writing echo
'Hello World! > /dev/lp0 — and it worked!
That’s very good I thought, lets see how it handles PostScript… So I tossed one of my physics reports at it. No problem — out came beautiful LaTeX with equations, graphs etc.
So it certainly works. Now I have to setup Cups, so that I have a spooler. I should also be able to share the printer, so that the rest of the family can benefit from the printer :-)
