Ok my mistake. It does work under su, however, not as sudo which I had
tried only.

It is lp0.

The reason I can't print not being connected with kernel 2.6.14 is, the way
I see it, that there is no provision for a parallel port on "local printer"
set-up, but only for "network printer".

May be I should try to fumble around the source, /usr/src/linux.

Regards

Peter
