- Hello,
-
- I have just acquired a IBM proprinter for my 386BSD system. On
- startup, the system sees the printer on the parallel port but it
- says that /dev/lp does not exist. I realize that I have to make
- the node so here is my questions:
-
- 1 What major,minor numbers should I be using for it? I could not
- find the numbers in the source.
-
- 2 Does any one have a printcap for the proprinter? I think I would
- like to experiment with it but would like a fall back.
-
- Any help will be useful thanks
