The printer devices are (sometimes) numbered differently now -- one
computer used to use /dev/lp2, now it uses /dev/lp0 -- also (assuming
you compiled line printer support as a module) you need something
like:
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
options parport_pc io=0x278
With the correct io address you are using. (This computer generated
an interrupt for every character printed so I do not use interupts
with it.) See /usr/src/linux/Documentation/parport.txt for more
details.
(You should be able to kludge things up to put the lp on the same
/dev/lp? as the old kernel, but once I "located" my printer I did not
bother looking into it any further.)
Hope this helps.
