Hi I saw the post regarding the p9100.lrp package a while back and thought hmmm, I could do something with that. I have a couple of Bering installations and I've found it makes a great mini distro as well as a firewall.
The trouble is I'm having problems getting anything to print directly from the Bering box. Forget p9100.lrp, print servers, firewalls and all that for a minute. If I install parport.o, parport_pc.o & lp.o as modules in the normal way, I get the following on boot. parport - Using /lib/modules/parport.o parport_pc - Using /lib/modules/parport_pc.o parport0: PC-Style at 0x378 [PCSPP(,...)] lp - Using /lib/modules/lp.o lpt0: using parport0 (polling) Looks good. However, if I try echo "test" >/dev/lp0, I get nothing from the printer. Should this work? I want to check that I've got the basic system working before starting to play with packages such as lpd.lrp & p9100.lrp. If I use a M$ boot disk and type echo "test" > lpt0, it works, so my hardware is ok. I also tried two other machines - same result. lsmod gives Module Pages Used by lp 5516 0 (unused) parport_pc 15444 1 parport 12064 1 [lp parport_pc] 3c509 6564 1 is "unused" a giveaway? I looked at the Bering Kernel Config file and CONFIG_PARPORT=m and CONFIG_PARPORT_PC=m are present, so I assume the kernel is ok. Do I need anything else?
