Re: cannot open '/dev/lp0' - 'No such device'
sure, glad it works .. :)
i had a hellva time getting printing to work..to this day i still cannot
'lpr filename' or 'lp filename' but printing through samba, or through
netscape or wordperfect or staroffice works fine.. odd too because
netscape shows the command it's using as lpr filename, and it works fine,
but it wont do shit at the command prompt ..ohwell
happy to help..
