Hallo Linux users,

Please who can help me with the following problem:

I have my parallel port configured default at 0x278H and IRQ 7. Although I
believe so, according to dmesg command. The character device is /dev/lp1

A printer (HP 720 C) is connected at this port and functions pretty good
when I print using  Windows.

However, when I perform a e.g. cat /etc/resolv.conf  > /dev/lp1 nothing
comes out, not a single character (it's like /dev/null). I am logged in as
root at linux 5.2

Who has tips? Somebody knows what I must do to be able to print this way?
This should work at least before I begin configuring a nice printer spooler.
I spent many hours already and gave it up nearly. Thank you very much
beforehand,

Regards,
Rob Visser.
