I've been trying out Luke Bakken's port of LPRng with a local printer connected to the parallel port. In the printcap file, I've tried setting the device name to PRN, but lpd objects to it being non absolute path name, I also tried setting it to /PRN, but that seems to cause lpd to hang. Luke suggests cygwin needs the LPT1 port available as a /dev/lpxx simulated device, but I'm wondering if there is another way, such as symlink from /dev/lp to PRN?
Thoughts and comments welcome. Regards, Tony. -- Tony Arnold, Deputy to the Head of COS Division, Manchester Computing, University of Manchester, Oxford Road, Manchester M13 9PL.
