OK. I might be able to help you with the printer problem. For some
STRANGE reason, it seems that the lp device numbers changed between the
kernel versions! For example, under 2.0.33 my printer device was
/dev/lp1, but when I started using the 2.1.9x kernels, I had to go through
my /etc/printcap and change all /dev/lp1 entries into /dev/lp0 !!
Don't ask me why it changed...
