Looking for clubies on getting an IBm Info printer 20 running under 
Linux Debian with lprng.

Basically it has postscript so there shouldn't be any problems, but zip, 
zilch nothing from it thru it or out of it in relationship to linux.

Basically a hand me down  that floated around as ballast in the vehicle 
until the HP4v said it might need a couple of parts replacing. bugger 
that, sothe Infoprt was lugged into the print area and connected up via 
its TCP/IP jack.

arp -s <ip-number> mac-address and various linx boxen were happily 
piniging it. No luck with web interface, as it has a password set and 
search engines don't return any concept of a default pass words for it.

Investigate front panel and find I can set ip, netmask and gateway 
there, so problem is solved.

Rolled printool and zip, zilch nothing.

Treid a second config on /dev/lp0 and after nothing thru the printtol 
config, tried direct feeding various file thru /dev/lp0 and again zip 
zilch nothing, Not a squark from printer.

Meanwhile did the fudge config of a remote (non-workgrp) printer under 
win2000 and ye olde test page is barfed up by printer with out a blink,

Sigh, looking for clubies.

And no, I don't want the brainless twit suggestion of upgrading to the 
latest linux printing bloatware. This is a postscript printer dammit, it 
shoud just work under linux lprng.

T.I.A.
