I'm quite pleased with myself after fixing tty00 (with alot of help from some people on the net) after totally screwing it up. Now I finally have linked all the man stuff to display in xman and gee, whouldn't be nice to print something. Oh No... I notice on bootup that the printer deamon has no lp? lpd[69] cannot find /dev/lp no such device. But wait a minute. The device should be par0? Perhaps I should ask someone first this time. After all MAKEDEV never makes a /dev/lp or am I missing something or things. The printcap doesn't look like it's going to work even if /dev/lp gets created. That's all for now. As usual any and all help will be humbly and greatly appreciated.
