I compiled 2.2.1 and have only found one problem on my system. I changed my working printcap to identify lp0 as the printer (was lp1 under 2.1), and dmesg reports that the parralel port is detected at boot. However, I get permission errors when I try to print. For example, "$ cat testfile > lpr" returns "^Ano connect permissions". Trying to print from Netscape mail > client returns the error "no connect permissions, job 'cfA224jedi' transfer > to [EMAIL PROTECTED] failed". So I made lp0 world writable and tried again > (maybe wrong approach, but I am new at this). Now I get nothing. So I su root > and do a "$ lpc status lp0" and get "^Ano connect permissions".
Any suggestions would be appreciated. By the way, so far printing is the only problem I have had with 2.2.1 under slink. Some said they had problems with ppp under 2.2.0, but mine is working fine. Also, support for my sound-card (Opti/MAD16) is much improved over 2.1.x. -Ben
