Re: Can't Print
I had a similar problem, and did two things to fix it.
1. Your Slink /dev/lp1 is now /dev/lp0. Make sure you change your
printcap file to reflect this.
2. Re-install lprng. I happened to notice that after upgrading the
kernel, lprng was half-installed. So I uninstalled it and then
re-installed it.
Everything has worked like a charm since.
