Hi, all. I'm having some trouble (after all) when printing through LAN. My first impression was awesome, but now I can't just print: printer always seems to be "Idle", even if I remove and reinstall it, and be able to print with Windows. More feedback to come...

Do this:

$ foo2hiperc-wrapper testpage.ps > xxx
$ hipercdecode < xxx
[stuff]
$ nc 192.168.1.NNN 9100 < xxx
[printed]

What did that say?

Well, I've been printing to LAN (second day with the printer working), and so far all is good.

Did you set the printer as default? I found that certain programs will bypass the print dialog and try to go straight to the default printer, which in that case will be nothing (I found this happens a lot with Flash animations that has print options).

And give the program some time. It is alpha quality and processing the page can take a while. I noticed that it can take close to a minute after I issue the print command before any network activity between the printer and Linux box is visible on my network switch for a single page full color printout, and the switch will relay quite a lot of data, taking up more time, before any printing activity is finally noticeable on the printer.

Lastly, does the distro you're using ship with a foo2zjs package too? Maybe your install is overwritten by a package upgrade. Try reinstalling the foo2zjs that you downloaded from this website and compiled.

Ok! I'm gonna try in a week, when I have again access to the printer. Thanks!!
