Hi Robert, I'm using the gnome printer configuration utility (printtool or printconf at the terminal line pops this up). My printer is a parallel printer assigned to LPT1 in Windows, so I guess this would mean /dev/lp0 in Linux.
What I'm wondering is how does /dev/lp0 get assigned to the lpd device? Before I had to reinstall RH, I entered /dev/lp0 in the Printer Device input box on the Queue Type window, selected the printer driver, and then restarted lpd, then tried to print. Nothing happened. On bootup, I got an error message saying something to the effect that /dev/lp0 was invalid or didn't exist. So, is there a config file that assigns /dev/lp0 to lpd somewhere?
