- Hi,
-
- I am trying to attach a NEC LC-890 postscript printer to my Sun 3/80
- running SunOS 4.0.3. At first I thought the parallel port would be the
- easiest. However, when I try to cat to the device /dev/pp0 I get the
- device not found message. I have the following line in the kenel config
- file:
-
- device pp0 at obio ? csr 0x6f000000 priority 1
-
- and I used the MAKEDEV pp0 command to create the device files.
- I am not sure what kind of entry I need in the /etc/ttytab file.
-
- Any suggestions on how to get the parallel port to work and a typical
- printcap file for a postscript printer on the parallel port would be
- appreciated. Please send suggestions to smithsw@chess.ncsu.edu.
-
- Thanks,
