Numbering of /dev/lp* changed with kernel 2.2. If you will be using kernel 2.2 from now on, just edit /etc/printcap to change /dev/lp1 to /dev/lp0; if you want to use either, you can duplicate your existing printcap entry and change /dev/lp1 to /dev/lp0, and give it a new name (e.g., newlp as opposed to oldlp). You can then specify which to use with, e.g., $ lpr -Poldlp John P. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mdt.net.au/~john Debian Linux admin & support:technical services
