Sorry to be over 12 hrs late in reply. I pick up my mail once a day only. There are two issues here that you have brought about: a) Kernel support for lp b) Kernel 2.2.17 (peculiarities if any for lp) Please give me a day or two, and I will give you the full details in personal mail regarding the first aspect. It would be too long to put on the list. The second aspect is an area I am a bit woolly about, I am still on Slink (Kernel 2.0.36). You may already be aware that beginning with kernel 2.1.33 , the lp device is merely a client of the new parport device. I need to gen up myself on this issue before I can say anything .... I do not think there should be any significant difference, as far as the lp device is concerned, but its better to be sure. Can anybody who has used kernels beyond 2.1.xx take this aspect on ?
