- I just bought a HP DeskJet 500 and made my cable to connect it to the
- serial port. I also have the driver DeskJet_2.03. I did everything
- according to the README file but the printer just does not print.
- DeskJet self test print a sample of 3 pages as expected. So the printer is
- fine ( I think). When I try to "cat" something to the printer. The print
- queue is updated but nothing comes out from the printer. Once in a while,
- the printer prints "getstatusdict/??????" on the first line.
- Anybody encountered the same problem? Any help will be appreciated.
