Sorry to be over 12 hrs late in reply. I pick up my
mail once a day only. There are two issues here that
you have brought about:
a) Kernel support for lp
b) Kernel 2.2.17 (peculiarities if any for lp)
Please give me a day or two, and I will give you the
full details in personal mail regarding the first
aspect. It would be too long to put on the list.
The second aspect is an area I am a bit woolly about,
I am still on Slink (Kernel 2.0.36). You may already
be aware that beginning with kernel 2.1.33 , the lp
device is merely a client of the new parport device.
I need to gen up myself on this issue before I can
say anything .... I do not think there should be any
significant difference, as far as the lp device is
concerned, but its better to be sure.
Can anybody who has used kernels beyond 2.1.xx take
this aspect on ?
