Hi,

I just bought the 2nd hand Apple Personal LaserWriterNT.
Now I like to set up with my Linux box. I got the "LapLink"
cable connect between my lpt1 and printer. When I try to
print, no response on the printer...:-(

lp is ready and printing

They just stay there forever.

I am using Linux Kernal SLS2.0.
I got parallel printer support compiled into Kernel.
I also install a2p into my machine. but anyway, I even can't make
lpr work....

Any suggestion? Is my cable problem or setup?
Don't suggest me to read the manual.....I don't have it, I don't
mind to read if anyone have one can borrow it to me.


Thanks in advance
