Hello, On Fri, Sep 14, 2001 at 03:08:55PM -0700, Dale Morris wrote: I'm trying to setup printing in woody using lprng. checkpc -f-V gives me the following:ecking 'status.lp' file checking 'status' file checking '/var/log/lp-errs' file checking '/var/log/lp-acct' file Warning - lp: cannot open lp device '/dev/lp1' - No such device Yet when type ls /dev lp0, lp1, and lp2 are there. I suppose this is a permission problem that is not allowing lp to open /dev/lp1. What is the correct way to install this printer? I've also got an Epson Stylus printer, but don't use lprng. Instead I use cupsys which is quite easy to install if you know about the admin program on http://localhost:631 You may also want gimp-print (I can't recall if that includes printer definitions for the Epson Stylus 600). The other thing to know is that /dev/lp1 is the second printer port (which most people don't have) so I would guess that /dev/lp0 is the one you want to use. However you need to make sure that either support is compiled into the kernel, or that you've got the module loaded (/sbin/lsmod to see). The message you got about No such device actually means that - that there is no device on the other side of the file. Tell us how you get on. Remember to write down every step you take, and all the pitfalls that you come across. Hope That Helps, Wasim. thanks dale -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: epson stylus 600 setup problem
I'm still trying to get my printer working, not much luck. When I run dmesg it shows: PCI: Using IRQ router default [1022/7006] at 00:00.0 isapnp: Scanning for PnP cards... isapnp: No Plug Play device found Linux NET4.0 for Linux 2.4 Based upon Swansea University Computer Society NET3.039 Initializing RT netlink socket Starting kswapd v1.8 parport0: PC-style at 0x378 [PCSPP,TRISTATE] parport0: cpp_daisy: aa5500ff(18) parport0: assign_addrs: aa5500ff(18) parport0: Printer, EPSON Stylus COLOR 600 pty: 256 Unix98 ptys configured This means the printer is being detected, no? Yet, since this compiled into the kernel rather than built as a module the lsmod command does me no good. Is there another command I can use to find if this is working? I tried installing printtool and it detects nothing on any of the ports lp0, lp1, etc.. thanks dale

Yep, reconfiguring the kernel made a big difference, printer is printing a test page right now. I'm using the cups printing system along with turboprint. It seems to work thanks again for the help! dale
