Hi I'm using Net386BSD 0.8, but I can't print anything through my printer.
Does Net386BSD support printer? Since I can't find /dev/lpt0 or /dev/lpt1 also
the configure file GENERICISA in kernal source has not defined lpt port.

But I've check that there is a lpt.c module, an it is intended to support 
printer.

Could anyone be kind enough to give me some hints on how to change the 
GENERICISA config file so I can build a new kernal supports printer ?

Thanks 8-)
