I'm looking for a clue about how to read from the parallel port. I just
got a lexmark laser printer, and all settings must be changed via
software. I can send commands to the printer, but most of them are
supposed to send information back. I can't figure out how to get that
information--I've tried various read methods on /dev/lp1 and
/dev/printer, and never get anything. I'm quite sure I'm sending the
commands properly, because when I send the command to print a testpage,
it works. I'm running Redhat 5.1, perl 5.004-something.
Any code, suggestions, module information appreciated.
