Subject: [patch] 2.4.3-pre4: allow more than 3 printers
Date: Mon, 19 Mar 2001 09:49:51 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20010319094951.D1204@redhat.com> (raw)
It's easier to add parallel ports to a machine nowadays, so the
default maximum of three printer devices is becoming a bit
restrictive.
Here's a patch to increase it. Any objections?
Tim.
