Cannot find /dev/parport0

Hello,

I just upgraded our print server/samba machine from sarge to etch.

In the /var/log/dmesg file i see:

parport: PnPBIOS parport detected.
parport0: PC-style at 0x378, irq 7 [PCSPP,TRISTATE]
parport0: Printer, Hewlett-Packard HP LaserJet 6MP

This looks correct.


In the /etc/printcap file I have:

lp|Our Printer:\
        :lp=/dev/parport0:\
        :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
        :af=/var/log/lp-acct:\
        :lf=/var/log/lp-errs:\
        :pl#66:\
        :pw#80:\
        :pc#150:\
        :mx#0:\
        :sh:

When I do a "checkpc" I get:

Warning - lp: cannot stat lp device '/dev/parport0' - No such file or directory


What is it that I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,

Ken
