Thanks Ray!

In /etc/hosts I had to remove @localdomain from [EMAIL PROTECTED] and lpd 
started and placing the print jobs nicely into the print queue, however, 
nothing is being printed.

On booting I get: Starting lp: Warning printer: cannot open '/dev/lp0' 'No 
such device or address'.

dmesg gives: lp: driver loaded but no device found.

lsmod shows: parport    2  (autoclean) [lp]

I have not an onboard parport but a singel parallel PCI card with chipset 
NM9805CV. It worked perfectly when I tried it on my other PC with slackware 
9.1.

What have I to do that the device /dev/lp0 is found. It is in /dev/:

ls -l /dev/lp0
crw-rw----    1 root     lp         6,   0 Apr 28  1995 /dev/lp0
