I dug out my old (Panasonic) dot matrix printer (only parallel port printer that was handy) and some continuous/fan-fold paper. I'm using 2.6.0-test2 and it prints. However, it's not in USASCII characters that I can read, but I suspect that's a different problem. The good news is that my PC sends data to it. -- ~Randy ~ http://developer.osdl.org/rddunlap/ ~ http://www.xenotime.net/linux/ ~
