 Hi!
   I was wondering whether it's possible to have to printers attached
 to two parallel ports in one Linux machine being served by lp (*NOT* lprng).
 I have this set up right now, and one of them prints fine, the other gets
 stuff if I cat myfile.txt  /dev/lp2. Files are copied to this printer's
 spool directory, but there they stay. If I issue an lpq, the queue appears
 to be empty.
 
   Any clues?
   
   Thanks,
   Jose

I have to assume that you do have a prontcap for each file?

If you are running a 2.2.x kernel the printers would be lp0  lp1.

Only thing I can think of.
