-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Ok, I recompiled my kernel. All seemed well, until I tried to print. I usually cat files to /dev/lp0, but this time it refused to print, saying:
/root # cat DOS-to-Linux-HOWTO > /dev/lp0 bash: /dev/lp0: No such device or address /root # (I was printing that for a friend)
Well, I recompiled again, and made sure I included parallel printer support. Same result. I deleted and recreated /dev/lp0 with mknod. Same result. I kicked and screamed at my computer. Same result. ;-)
Is make menuconfig simply refusing to add printer support? If so, why? If not, what is likely happening? I can send files if necessary, just ask.
(please respond directly to me, I don't subscribe to linux-kernel)
