[Sunhelp] local deskjet printer?

[bhinz]

Hi,

I'm trying to get a Hewlett Packard Deskjet (parallel port) printer working with 
my sparc10, which is running solaris 7. It is a non-PS printer but I would be 
happy just being able to print text.  I have added the printer, chosen /dev/bpp0 
as the port and "hplaser" as the type. The printer is enabled and accepting jobs 
but print requests don't print. lpstat -p -deskjet -l returns a message saying 
that "printer powered off or disconnected; source: parallel". Anyone know why I 
am getting this error? I've tried several other seemingly logical printer types 
with the same results. Is it even possible to get this configuration (HP DJ + 
sparc10) to work? 

TIA
Brian
