    I need some help to get my printer working. Yes, I've read the CUPS
    Administration manual and searched Google. Either the answers aren't
    there or I'm not smart enough to see it.

    I'm running Debian 3.1 and kernel 2.6.10 on an DEC Alpha SX164 with
    an HP Officejet 720 attached to the parallel port. I'm using cups with the
    following printing packages installed:

    cupsys 1.1.22-6
    cupsys-bsd 1.1.22-6
    cupsys-client 1.1.22-6
    libcupsimage2 1.1.22-6
    libcupsys2-gnutls10 1.1.22-6
    libgnomecups1.0-1 0.1.13-1
    foomatic-db 20041203-1
    foomatic-db-engine 3.0.2-2
    foomatic-db-hpijs 1.5-20041013-1
    foomatic-filters 3.0.2-3
    foomatic-filters-ppds 20041013-1
    hpijs 1.7.1-2

    Here's the .config info

    CONFIG_PARPORT=y
    CONFIG_PARPORT_PC=y
    CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_CML1=y
    # CONFIG_PARPORT_SERIAL is not set
    # CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_FIFO is not set
    # CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_SUPERIO is not set
    # CONFIG_PARPORT_OTHER is not set
    CONFIG_PARPORT_1284=y
    CONFIG_PRINTER=y

     From my /var/log/dmesg:

    parport0: PC-style at 0x3bc [PCSPP]
    parport0: Printer, Hewlett-Packard OfficeJet Series 700
    lp: driver loaded but no devices found

    CLASS:PRINTER;
    MODEL:OfficeJet Series 700;
    MANUFACTURER:Hewlett-Packard;
    COMMAND SET:MLC,PCL,PML;

    I have selected yes to raw printing and option 3 (parallel) when running
    dpkg-reconfigure cupsys.

    The lpinfo -v command shows nothing. Consequently, CUPS Web admin
    is unable to detect any devices.

    Is there's something I'm missing?
