Vilmos,
You seem to assume the HPUX workstation division and the HP printer
division support parisc-linux. Unfortunately,that's not the case.

The parallel port HW in 712/80 is designed in early 1990s.
Is the 712/80 capable of talking to your printer?

Later parallel port standards support bidirectional data and
I'm not sure LASI chip properly supports that. Maybe someone
can clarify since I'd like to hook a Connectix Color Quickcam
to my B180. I know it works with my laptop but had problems
on the b180.
