I upgraded to kernel 2.2.13 from 2.0.35 and can't print anything under the new kernel. I changed /dev/lp1 to /dev/lp0 in /etc/printcap as suggested. I have uninstalled and re-installed lprng and magic filter and configured them all over, but no luck. I booted the old kernel and could print fine (after changing /dev/lp0 back to /dev/lp1), but upon booting 2.2.13 I again lost the ability to print.
I suspect that parport is not configured correctly under the 2.2.13. here is an exerpt from the status.lp file in the spool dir: opening device '/dev/lp0' at 1999-12-20-04:28:07.270 cannot open '/dev/lp0' - 'No such device', attempt 1... I see this in the boot messages: parport0: PC-style at 0x378 [SPP,ECP,ECPPS2] I have these files on my system: /proc/parport/0/autoprobe /proc/parport/0/devices /proc/parport/0/hardware /proc/parport/0/irq but they are all zero bytes. Should they contain some information? If so could someone please send me examples of these files so I can configure them? Did I not compile something into the kernel that I should have? I did not add plug and play support, should I have? Can anyone tell me how to fix this? Thank you, David Densmore <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
