The names of the printer devices changed from the DOS-like ones in all of the older kernels (/dev/lp1 <==> LPT1:) to device names consistent with the rest of Linux (/dev/lp0 <==> LPT1:, lp1=LPT2:, lp2=LPT3:). You need to change the name of your printer device in /etc/printcap if you run a 2.1 kernel (probably replace /dev/lp1 with /dev/lp0). -- _____________________________ / \ "The cat's been in the box for over | David Maze | 20 years.
