- If your problem is that you can't get color, we had something similar.
- Just connect the printer to the parallel port, and add it to the
- system as 'other parallel printer'. Define a virtual printer queue
- for it.
- Now the trick is to print to it using: enq -d p <file>
- (not sure about the option, the intention is to let it print
- without doing any translations, see the enq manual page).
- I think it also works by editting the /etc/qconfig file and add
- the '-d p' option to the piobe backend.
-
- Hope this helps.
