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 .
