I have the same problem on the computer at school, in the home, it
works... and it's not a printcap one (i've tried both lp0 and lp1 on the
printcap).
If i echo text directly to the port, it doesn't do anything, if i try to
print with printcap / lpr, it complains something i can't remember right
now.
