What exactly does that mean? Are you referring to PPA? 
And how do you know?

I tried this - under win98 the printer is on LPT1 as you
suggested.
In linux I got no response from the cat - no lights, no
staircase text, not even a murmer from the motors.

(But no error from the cat command - it just quietly returned
to the bash prompt, as if it had successfully cat'ed to
something).
