Cannot find /dev/parport0 - ANY SUGGESTIONS?

[Account for Debian group mail <debian@pcez.com>]

 Hello Again,

 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
