Hi Igor.
Somebody built this for me and it's I believe an intel motherboard, not a dell.
but I got a card with a parallel port on it for my second printer. No problem
there; the printer port is recognized and prints with cat, just would like to
use lpr. The embosser by the way is an old Versapoint.
I never really had to mess with /etc/printcap with my inkprint printer, though
I've used todos to filter so the line breaks come out right. I'm told the -l
option will work with lpr for .brf files.
well, will have a look at /etc/printcap.
Thanks.

Cheryl
