HP Deskjet710C not printing (breezy)

[Wim Bertels]

Ls,

i can't seem to get my HP 710C to print something on LPT1.(par port 1)
i only found the same problem on
http://bolug.uni-bonn.de/archive/mailinglisten/html/BoLUG/2005-10/msg00146.html
not a solution though, damn

suggestions?
(ubuntu 5.10 main restricted)

sometimes: i get the status: parallell port busy (instead or ready) when
trying to print, but with or without this status, nothing is printed

in the syslog i find this when i try to print a testpage:
Oct 22 14:44:56 localhost kernel: [4302670.258000] lp0: ECP mode
Oct 22 14:45:00 localhost pnm2ppa[9901]: read_config_file(): error
parsing config file at line 18

tnx,
