4x20 problems...ergh
First off, I searched past messages for this problem to no avail..
All right, turned out that hat 4x20 L2014 I got from was EIO.com was defective...which is very rare, according to them...but since the guys over at eio rock SO hard, they sent me a replacement for free.
So I hooked it up using the schematics on their site, I even got the two rows of blocks (which means everything is hooked up right..woohoo!)...
I used lcdprint.exe to check the lcd...lcdprint 378 shows:
Standard Parallel Port detected
BPP Mode supported
LCD panel detected.
"lcdprint 378 4 20 test.txt" which just kicks me back to the command prompt with no other comments on screen...(which I take to mean it worked.. or it thinks it worked..)
But I get NO change on the solid bars of blocks...any thoughts?

This may be plainly obvious, but "test.txt" actually has to have text in it.
I hope you already knew that...

change the parrallel port to ECP mode in the bios
I recently replaced the matrix orbital 20X4 LCD with the same LCD you got from eio and I got it to work without problems, I think your bios setting is wrong too.. make sure it's ECP and the command of lcdprint should be:
lcdprint 378 20 4 text.txt, and not 4 20 like you typed.

Nope...I have it set for ECP..and the same thing happens if I switch the 20 and 4.
I just can't figure it out because it *knows* the lcd is there and *thinks* it is sending output to it...but it's not. ergh.

I think you messed up your wiring man... other than that you might wanna try another computer.
