Re: [e-smith-devinfo] lp0 template location

Thanks Charlie,
We did try to install with the manager and both printers show up. Only the printer on 
the port that is attached to the MB works. The new pci port is a PNP and that may be 
our problem, but in testing we found that the 2nd printer would not even work when 
moved to the port that does work so we will leave it on the workstation instead.

I found instructions on the manufacture web site on how to use the port on Linux.

That is why I thought I would have to make a change in the template

| That depends on exactly what you mean by "sets up the printer ports".

|

| 
| /etc/printcaps sets up mappings of printer names to printer ports, and

| You should be able to just add a second printer via the e-smith manager.
