Comment 13 for bug 60931

I'm afraid there is currently no way to attach this printer to a local parallel port - the systems are at opposite ends of the network and premises, and rather immobile.

Suffice it to say that printing does work from Windows (both PostScript and PCL) as well as from other Linux systems (even ancient SuSE 8,2) and also locally on the server - which isn't Windows, of course, but the venerable OS/2 Warp 4.

Moreover, the fact that both the "CUPS v1.2.x Printer Test Page" and error messages when using the PCL 6 driver, as well as occasional badly rendered PostScript jobs (only some borders without text), do print over the network from the freshly installed Ubuntu 7.04 "Feisty Fawn" box, suggest that this is not a network problem (the reported, unresolved issue Samba 3 seems to have with OS/2 according to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/112839 concerns file sharing).
