doesn't work :(
Authored by: belette on Sep 01, '02 09:14:02AM

I've got a Canon BJC 2100 USB printer, I followed the instructions (btw, there's a typo, it's xinetd, and not xinted), I created a new LPR printer on the OS9 box, and when I try to print it says there's an error -8055.
Any ideas?

Same here - same error

I did actually get the printer to respond by using the PrinterName (what you name it in CUPS) as opposed to the printer lpd://. It started printing out page after page of raw postscript code....

You'll need a postscript printer to make this work. Desktop Printer Utility only creates postscript printer queues.

I have added the PostScript clarification to the original hint ... thanks for letting me know - I don't have an OS 9 machine to test on.

Same error here. This must only work for a few printers. Probably true PS2 printers only. I think a FriendlyNet Enet hardware solution may be the only way.
