Printing on Ultra 10

[Gabor Zoltan Csejtey <Gabor.Csejtey@idi.ntnu.no>]

I'm trying to install a printer to my Sparc machine.

su
cd /dev
MAKEDEV lp

modprobe parport_ax
modprobe lp

cat something.txt > /dev/lp0

and the machine hangs up, I can use only STOP-A to reboot.

What is the problem? Where can I find info about printing on SparcLinux?

PS.
The printer is Deskject 720C which works from Pentium with Debian 2.2
and pbm2ppa.
