A bitmapfile for a printer send to /dev/lpt0 doesn't do anything, it just hangs: # cat bitmapfile > /dev/lpt0 No error reports anywhere. Cannot be interrupted with ^C or ^Z Any other mode with "lptcontrol" does not have any effect. Same configuration in 6.1-Release works o.k.

Should be default "down" My Canon printer was seen as a point to point interface. Nice joke :-)
