With the little information you've given (ie try including the printcap, etc etc), my best guess is that while 2.0.x labeled the parallel ports DOS-style, so lpt1 would be /dev/lp1, 2.2.x just labels them in the order they are found (much more sane IMHO), so the first parallel port is /dev/lp0. Check to make sure you are using the right port in /etc/printcap? Otherwise try sending more information. -- Ian Peters "I never let schooling interfere with my education."
