I found that such a usb interface directory did not exist, and so
created it, and modified my printcap accordingly as you suggest.
I get a clean return from # checkpc, but find that the lpd does not
know of the change I made:
$ lpq
Printer: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 'Generic dot-matrix printer entry'
Queue: 1 printable job
Server: pid 27891 active
Unspooler: pid 27915 active
Status: cannot open '/dev/lp0' - 'No such device or address',
attempt 3, sleeping 40 at 12:44:48.554
Rank Owner/ID Pr/Class Job Files
active(attempt-2) [EMAIL PROTECTED] A 889 /opt/tmp/test.txt
So I did # /etc/init.d/lpd restart
But this had no effect. How do I otherwise tell the daemon that the
device file has changed?
