Re: printing on sparc

Hi,

I sent a mail earlier this day to the debian-sparc list. Haven't you
read it? I have problems with printing too.
I didn't have /dev/lp* after installing Debian 2.2r0.

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?

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