[linux-help] Printer prints color graphics, but not text

[bbales <bbales@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, list,
I'm running RH7.2 on 800 MHz Athlon with SIS motherboard and Canon bjc6000 
printer.  Gimp prints a pretty fair picture in full color, but I can't print 
text.  "lpr test.txt"  gets me nothing.  If the printer is turned off, I get 
a message "lp0 offline" in var/log/messages, but if the printer is ready - no 
message at all.

/var/spool/lpd/bjc6000/bjc6000.acct  has the following jobstart and jobend 
information logged for each attempt:
jobstart '-Hbertha.kscable.com' '-nroot' '-Pbjc6000' 
'-kcfA936bertha.kscable.com' '-b341' '-t2002-03-10-21:51:46.000'
jobend '-Hbertha.kscable.com' '-nroot' '-Pbjc6000' 
'-kcfA936bertha.kscable.com'
'-b341' '-t2002-03-10-21:51:46.000'

Printcap contains the following, which I don't understand much of.
bjc6000:\
        :ml=0:\
        :mx=0:\
        :sd=/var/spool/lpd/bjc6000:\
        :af=/var/spool/lpd/bjc6000/bjc6000.acct:\
        :sh:\
        :lp=/dev/lp0:\
        :lpd_bounce=true:\
        :if=/usr/share/printconf/util/mf_wrapper:

Any help would be appreciated.
