I have recently installed kernel 2.20-pre8-ac1 and I cannot print now.When I
run printtool I get a message that my print port /dev/lp1 not detected.

I have tried 
cd /dev
../MAKEDEV lp1

I get the message ./MAKEDEV: don't know how to make device "lp1"

I have also tried as root "     modprobe lp" and then "lsmod"and I get the
following

Module                          Size            Used by
parport_probe                   2916            0   (autoclean) (unused)
lp                              4508            0    (autoclean) (unused)
parport                         6996            0   [autoclean)(parport_probe lp]

besides a whole lot of other entries

How do I get back my /dev/lp1

Thanks,
Gerry Mascarenhas
