Thanks Ray! In /etc/hosts I had to remove @localdomain from localhost@localdomain 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 Regards -- Peter - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
