Thanks for the suggestions... did:
yum install gimp-print
setup
I am using the parallel port...
did ls -l /dev/lp0 it is there...
did cat /var/log/dmesg + | grep lp0 nothing there...
configured printer with the gimp-print driver then
removed the printer and reconfiguried with gimp-print-ijs
neither worked! no printer output...
I have tried cat /etc/hosts > /dev/lp0 also... no output...
Other thoughts????
Thanks for your help!
