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. -- Kim Lux, Diesel Research Inc.
