I have a 2 node network. I run winNT, win95 , DOS and LINUX
installed.
I only recently installed LINUX 2.0.29 though I had messed with it off
and on since 0.99
Anyway I usually print from win95 or NT. Then one day I wanted to get a
hard copy
of a short text in LINUX. oops! no go. did lpq. and stuff was in que.
I looked the the spooler log and I am told the printer daemon (lpd)
could not find
/dev/lp1. Well I know it's there. So I do /proc/devices. Indeed it is
not there.
How do I get it back in there ? I am running LPRNG with magicfilter.
So far I deleted printcap, re-installed lprng, and re-ran
magicfilterconfig to generate
a new printcap. My PCI mbd insists on forcing use of an IRQ instead of
allowing polling
so I tell LINUX via lilo.conf to use iobase addrs 0x378 and IRQ 7.
Still no go. I modprobe lp.o and the printer shudders. Yet I still can't
print from LINUX.
Oh I had installed samba a few days ago. Was able to talk to NT server
from linux, but thats about it. Have not had time to play more with it.
