I'm attempting to set-up a CUPS print-server in a KVM VM guest that uses a printer attached to the host.The host is SL6 and the guest is SL6.1 Beta. I have installed kmod-lp in both host and guest. When I print a test page the CUPS web interface shows the job then completed however there is no output at the printer. Setting up CUPS on the host (something I wanted to avoid) and it works fine. Below is a snippet from the guest VM XML definition. Any ideas why it wont work in a VM? ******************************************************************* <parallel type='dev'> <source path='/dev/parport0'/> <target port='0'/> </parallel> ******************************************************************
I'm not on my machine that has a parallel port printer on it, so I could be way off base, but is /dev/parport0 really where you want to point it. Setting up my parallel printer, I seem to remember having to point it to /dev/lp0
I can verify that tonight. Troy -- __________________________________________________ Troy Dawson [email protected] (630)840-6468 Fermilab ComputingDivision/SCF/FEF/SLSMS Group __________________________________________________
