local (parallel) printer does not show up when configuring cups
Hi:
Debian unstable
kernel 2.6.15 patched for ttyUSB (why is this still not in the Debian kernel
image?) but stock kernel 2.6.16-2-k7 does not make a difference
CUPS 1.2.1
Somehow my parallel devices /dev/lp0 to /dev/lp2 have evaporated. No hardware
problem - I can print with that unloved "OS" from Redmond.
I got devices in /dev/.static/dev/lp0 but I cannot "cat printtest.txt
> /dev/.static/dev/lp0"
Maybe I don't understand udev correctly.
I did a MAKEDEV lp but nogo.
I got /dev/parport0
There is /dev/.static/dev/par0...2 and /dev/.static/dev/parport0...2
I'm at my wits end.
Unfortunately I cannot remember if this problem appeared after an update or
what. It was too long ago that it happened. I just now came around to working
on the problem.
Any help/hint is very much appreciated. Thank you for your time.
Cheers to y'all , Eike
