Re: Printing Broken After Upgrade to 2.2.10 Kernel on slink
Maybe it was my imagination, but I think I had to change "/dev/lp1" to
"/dev/lp0" in my /etc/printcap after upgrading from a 2.0.x kernel to
2.2.1. I am still at a loss as to what caused this.
You might want to try changing it, as you can always change it back if it
doesn't help. I think the printer daemon has to be re-started for changes
to printcap to take effect. For me, that is /etc/init.d/lprng restart (I
think).
I hope this helps.
