right, however, some printers, while they can eject a page just fine,
print garbage when you try to print something. This still happens with
my old IBM proprinter 2.. It can eject pages just fine, but every time i
try to print something, it just prints the comments instead of the
actual document. If my computer had a parallel port, i would show you
what i mean by that

the newer printers work just fine under cups
