having just one problem with 2.2.1
I compiled 2.2.1 and have only found one problem on my system. I changed
my working printcap to identify lp0 as the printer (was lp1 under 2.1),
and dmesg reports that the parralel port is detected at boot. However, I
get permission errors when I try to print. For example, "$ cat testfile
> lpr" returns "^Ano connect permissions". Trying to print from Netscape mail client returns the error "no connect permissions, job 'cfA224jedi' transfer to lp@localhost failed". So I made lp0 world writable and tried again (maybe wrong approach, but I am new at this). Now I get nothing. So I su root and do a "$ lpc status lp0" and get "^Ano connect permissions".
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
By the way, so far printing is the only problem I have had with 2.2.1
under slink. Some said they had problems with ppp under 2.2.0, but mine
is working fine. Also, support for my sound-card (Opti/MAD16) is much
improved over 2.1.x.
