can't setup a HP 695c to work with CUPS

[relz]

I'm trying to get my HP to work using CUPS[Common UNIX Printing System], I have a Solaris 8 system, the printer is connected to the parallel port /dev/printers/0.
When I add the printer and send a test page nothing happens, and then when I restart the job I get:
Error:
client-error-not-possible

Try and check in BIOS and see if ECP mode or bi-directional mode is enabled for the Lpt port. Also eventually check if the printer works in another OS environment ex. windows based.

hpwizzard thanks for the advise, I'll check the BIOS next time I get to work(next week). About the other OS, the printer does work under Solaris as an ascii printer with no real problem I'm just trying to get CUPS to work in order to print postscript documents.
