Re: AGAIN: Help please: /dev/printer disappeared
Rolf, I am a newbie, i recently spent time going round and round
with lpc trying to get my printer going till my head was in a
whirl with it.
I can't remember all the symptoms, and it is only debian 0.93 but
the cure was getting a match between entries in /etc/printcap and
/etc/conf.modules and the printer.
in /etc/printcap see the lp2
lp|Generic dot-matrix printer entry:\
:lp=/dev/lp2:\
in /etc/conf.modules: at the end:
path[ipv4]=/lib/modules/ipv4
options sjcd 0x340,10,5
options lp2 0x278,5
those being where (I think) the bios and debian's own startup said the
printer was.(I also have a note that I initted via boot/root menus telling it
that is where the printer is and saved that to my custom boot disk.
I have not installed lilo, but I think it has an option to put the printer
details.)
