Hello,

I recently add a new printer EPSON EPL-5800L to my system (i386) using
parallel port and found out that my printcap didn't work for me any more.
The printout was sent to the spooling area but no output to printer.  Is
there anyone using the EPSON EPL-5800L under netbsd-current ?  
I had tried out the 'raw print' in ther i386 system using following
command

cat /etc/resolv.conf > /dev/lpa0

However, out printout was produced.  But I can send print something under
Win98 samba environemnt.  Any idea ? Can you show me your printing filter
program for the ESPON EPL-5800L. Here is mine which didn't work.   Thanks.

Clarence
