[Bug 38805] Re: parallel port printing is garbled when using ECP

Hi I also have an issue to print via ECP/LPT0 on my HP LaserJet4 Plus - getting error message on printer:
"W2 Invalid Pers.

Here is what I checked:
BIOS:            ECP is enabled

dsmesg        only one line associated with ECP:
[    9.353860] lp0: using parport0 (interrupt-driven).

/var/log/kern.log.0  -  looks good to me, exactly how it was set up in Windows XP
tsp0001 at desktop1:~$ grep ECP /var/log/kern.log.0
Aug 29 19:16:45 desktop1 kernel: [    8.874558] parport0: PC-style at 0x378 (0x778), irq 7, dma 3 [PCSPP,TRISTATE,COMPAT,EPP,ECP,DMA]
Aug 29 22:35:15 desktop1 kernel: [    9.754990] parport0: PC-style at 0x378 (0x778), irq 7, dma 3 [PCSPP,TRISTATE,COMPAT,EPP,ECP,DMA]

However, I could not print - nothing comes out. Print manager shows
status - "Printing"



Checked
