I have installed 386BSD on my machine, and I am having problems sending
text files to the printer.  I checked the /dev directory, and there are no
printer files present at all.  Needless to say, lpd won't come up either. 
My question, is how can I create the files that I need?  For some reason,
they didn't come out of the distribution, and I have no idea where to get
them.  Can I download them from somewhere, or do I need to create them
manually?  Thanks for any help.
