There's a lot here to get to grips with as there is with Kay's email. The main thing for me at present is the following: On Thu, Nov 29, 2007 at 01:18:04PM -0500, Bryan Kadzban wrote: > The lp0 device file should show up when you load the lp module (I > think), although you'll need the parport and parport_pc modules as well. > You may want to try loading all of them if you don't have the file, > though I think lp depends on both parport* modules. I've never come across the lp module before. `modprobe lp' brought me /dev/lp0 that I didn't have before without using links.conf. A lot of other things are dropping into place and I want to play with these a bit before getting to some of the other things you said. > What I think Kay meant is that udev should be creating /dev/lp0 without > any help from rules at all.

I didn't have /dev/lp0 and couldn't find a good way to get it. Now it comes by using `modprobe lp' and vanishes again with `rmmod lp'. And I can use udev info with /dev/lp0 now as well. Things are looking up. Thanks again; you've made me very happy.
