Well that may be true, but I bought this cable two
months ago.
Plus the parport_probe drivers notices that it is an
HP printer
so I think some sort of two way communication is going
on, further more, when I use it with Windows98, since
I bought a flakey Ink head I keep getting pop ups that
say I need to replace it.
What I don't know is how to get the /dev/lp?
filesystem entries to talk to the parport driver. Is
there some sort of Major Number--Minor number--magic
thing I don't know about?
