[comp.unix.sysv386] ISC UNIX 2.2 & parallel port hangs

todd@uhccux.uhcc.Hawaii.Edu (Todd Ogasawara) (09/18/90)

I have an HP ThinkJet connected to my 386 box with a Centronics parallel
cable (vanilla, nothing fancy). Every now and then lp will just sit there
and not print anything to the printer despite that fact that 'lpstat -t'
reports that it is printing. I've found that I have to completely reboot
the system to get the printer to work again.

Has anyone else noticed this problem? Thanks...todd
