Re: [TCLUG:3797] Kernel 2.2.0 - Good news!!! (and printer question)

["Vince Platt" <Vince.Platt@Born.com>]

Ok... I finally had time to look at this, with no joy so far.  I did have
to switch my /dev/lp link over to lp0, but this doesn't seem to be the
problem.  Is there something specific in /etc/printcap I need to change
manually, or is there a utility I need to use?  Also, I wouldn't mind just
reading up on the problem, if I knew what would help.?

TIA again..

The new kernels (>2.1.x) switched the first parallel port to lp0. (2.0.x
used
lp1). Make sure you update your /etc/printcap file to point to the new
device.
