Linux doesn't recognize my parallel port. The lp module is loaded.
ls > /dev/lp0 or /dev/lp1 both give the message "no such device". I can use the parallel port from Windows 95, so the hardware is functional. Anything I should try? The printer isn't anything exotic--just a plain 24 pin dot matrix that is being asked to print ascii, which works find from DOS. Any ideas would be appreciated. I'm running kernel version 2.2.7. JEB
