Hello Carsten,
I folowed the ATLAS instructions but when I do cat flashimage > /dev/lp0 it get
stucked at the first write . I will send you what message I get when I run
strace
cat flashimage > /dev/lp0.
open("claudiuwright", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 3
fstat(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0664, st_size=2479223, ...}) = 0
read(3, "!R\n@1c000000\n>UploadSS\n!E\n000000"..., 512) = 512
write(1, "!R\n@1c000000\n>UploadSS\n!E\n000000"..., 512
Do you have any ideea ?
Please try to give me a clue because in the ATLAS docs says that I have to set
the
parallel prot to Generic text only and I do not know how to do that. Second I
guess
that it stucks from other reasons .
Best Regards,
Nicu
