Hi,

I have an Epson LQ-500 printer that I would like to use with the lpa driver.
It shows all the symptoms that I've seen discussed before: No port detected
unless the printer is unplugged (whether the printer is on or off), but I've
never seen a solution to the problem posted.

Is it actually possible to use this printer?

Thanks,

Tony
