More questions (hardware-related)
Hi, all. Okay, I am having serious troubles with my printer, now. The
first time I ran Debian and it probed lp1, my printer proceeded to "test"
itself by slamming the cartridge carriage against the far side of the
track. After many tries, I finally got it behaving again by pulling the
printer cable from the back of the printer. I printed a couple of things
in SuSE just fine. When I rebooted into Debian again, the same thing
happened. Now, however, no amount of fiddling seems to make a difference.
I don't know what the probe did, but now each probe from any OS (SuSE,
Debian, Win95) results in the same horrible crash and grinding noise as my
printer punishes itself. It's an HP 520, BTW. I don't know if it's an
unfortunate coincidence of a hardware failure at the same time of the
installation of a new distro or something different in the wat Debian
probes the lp1 port, but my printer is not operational ATM, which is bad.
I'll go reply to the lilo post, now ;-) TIA!
