After I upgraded to kernel 2.2.14 from 2.0.38 my printer wouldn't work. I had to:
cd /dev rm lp* MAKEDEV lp to correct the problem. Unfortunately I don't remember what the old major and minor device numbers were, however there were four of them lp0, lp1, lp2, lp3. After reinstalling them I only have /dev/lp0 -- /dev/lp2 and now my printer works fine. Also the printer changed from /dev/lp1 to /dev/lp0. I have been running the same devices since Debian 1.3.1. I hope this helps anyone else with the same problem. Mike Thompson [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Free-ware may contain bugs and is not as widely available as commercial software" Stan Dormer on Linux security.
