Date: 27 May 1994 15:13:07 GMT Organization: Computer Center, National Chiao-Tung University, Taiwan Lines: 17 Message-ID: <2s52m3$9s8@debbie.cc.nctu.edu.tw> NNTP-Posting-Host: @ccsun7.cc.nctu.edu.tw X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Hi: I have a 386BSD installed on my 386DX, but the "lpr" doesn't work: (*) I have no mouse, modem ... installed, only a line printer. (*) When I boot from the DOS partition, I can "COPY <filename> PRN" to print my file. (*) If I boot from the 386BSD partition, when I type "lpr <filename>" I find that the file is queued in the printer queue, "lpc" shows the printer is ready and printing. But nothing comes out from the printer. I have tried "ln -s /dev/com1 /dev/lp", doesn't work ..., is it the correct way ? Is there any thing to do with the com driver ? Thank you in advance. -- Ming
