blazer still doesn't work

[Igor Gueths]

Its just the laptop that has win on it. And when I try catting the file on
Linux, I return to a prompt and the blazer just sits there as if nothing
had happened. And that is what I have in my kernel i.e., parport and
printer support. The ink printer appears to be working, but I don't know
why the blazer is not? Greg, didn't you say you had a blazer? Have you had
any luck?

May you code in the power of the source,
may the kernel, libraries, and utilities be with you,
throughout all distributions until the end of the epoch.
