Guest devenpillay Posted September 5, 2004 Report Share Posted September 5, 2004 Hi, I need some help in this. I have just installed Mandrake 9.2 (for the second time in 3 days) on a Toshiba laptop M35 1.7mhz centrino. I have a Cannon Bjc 80 that i used on my old laptop with a parallel port. Because the new laptop has no parallel port I bought a USB to parallel converter. The first time i installed mandrake, the printer worked straight off. I installed it as lp0, suing printerdrake and it worked fine. Now having fixed the disk partitioning problem and reinstalled mandrake, the printer does not work. This is what is listed in my /dev/usb/-lp0 180,0 Under /dev/printers there is no entry. It seems that the converter is supported in the 9.2 but somehow, the second time it has not loaded it. What do i do to get it to work ? thanks, deven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paleo Posted September 6, 2004 Report Share Posted September 6, 2004 your printer is listed so it should work. Have you tried using the printer setup wizard after you've installed mandrake? The printer wizard is somewhere in mandrake control center. The printer should be installable that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
