After upgrading to Etch, now printing (DeskJet 840C) is gone. Reason: % ls -l /dev/lp* ls: /dev/lp*: No such file or directory There is no more device created by udev. I have turned off and on, but to no avail. Yes, the printer is found (dmesg): parport: PnPBIOS parport detected. parport0: PC-style at 0x378 (0x778), irq 7, dma 3 [PCSPP,TRISTATE,COMPAT,ECP,DMA] parport0: Printer, HEWLETT-PACKARD DESKJET 840C
But there is nothing to send the data to. I *did* my homework on Google, and found some help for CUPS. But hell freezes over before I use it ! I want it to run with lpr (is installed, of cause). How do it get udev to recognize and create it ? Uwe (Please Cc: to me, thanks !)
