This may require +these operations to be performed as root. In addition, kernel support is +required for bidirectional communication. For Linux version 2.2, +\fICONFIG_PRINTER_READBACK\fP should be enabled; this is called +\fICONFIG_PARPORT_1284\fP on 2.4 and later kernels. +.PP +If the printer is performing self-test or head cleaning on power up, the +identify and ink level commands will time out, although the printer +successfully receives the command.
