Hi,
wish I could offer some help; unfortunately, I have been having the same problem with Gentoo and parallel printing for at least 6 months now. I bought an HP USB PSC1315, which does work excellent, but I have customers who own parallel printers, and can't spend the cash to get a new printer.
Anyways, I have followed the Gentoo Print Guide religiously on many occasions, but to no avail. I have also spent HOURS on linuxprinting.org, searching google, and of course these the best forums on the net. I am not giving up my search, but this is the first time I have voiced my problem to the public.

A little about the systems: Every system I've tried parallel printing on has had gentoo 2.6 kernel, varying versions over the months. The systems range from custom built to Compaq to Dell, but all have working parallel ports, as detailed in dmesg. Configuration goes great, cups works fine, until I actually print. Printing a test page seems to work fine, but of course the printer doesn't respond at all. I feel like I've tried everything. The two printers I have tried are an HP Deskjet722 w/hpijs (I think) and a Lexmark Colorjet 2050 using c2050 from foomatic.

Please if anyone has any suggestions, help!

By the way ironfroggy, how did you see that foomatic-rip output? Maybe mine is doing the same. Thnx. Hope I didn't miss anything.
