Murakami) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd Subject: [386bsd] Need to attach centro printer after the system boot. Message-ID: <3747@tansei1.tansei.cc.u-tokyo.ac.jp> Date: 20 Dec 92 06:30:11 GMT Sender: news@tansei.cc.u-tokyo.ac.jp Organization: Hokkaido Univ. However I am subject to tansei for JUNET. Lines: 21 I would like to enable the centro-parallel port printer after the system was booted. My laser beam printer consumes huge electricity, so I would like to keep it power off. I guess the kernel, when it boots, try to decide if the printer is connected alive or death. But I hope the printer daemon to watch everytime of its trial of opening the printer if it is on line. I tried lpc command to use "restart all" by super user, in vain. If anyone has the fix for this, please let me know. The sony workstation at its earlier version of OS had the same problem , but newer os was improved to accept the printer to switch on after the system has booted up. Hiroshi Murakami.
