Thanks for any help! I solved the problem. I installed the kernel of
slackware9.1 2.4.22 and my good old Epson LX-800 came to live. This is not
the first time this kernel 2.4.20-20.9 did mess-up things. How much time
wasted by Richard and myself on account of an apparent defective kernel from
Krud-Linux.
What did Ray say or similar, by his experience, with slackware most things
work better and smoother. Darn true!
