I need some help to get a HP Laserjet II running under Interactive
ix/386 version 2.0.2
The printer is connected to the first parallel (Centronics) interface
of the "PC". It runs fine if I boot with a MS-DOS disk and use it as 
LPT1.  
I tried to install it with the SYSADM script for setting up a printer.
The menu offers a "hplaser" option. If I enter this the answer of the
script is that there exists no hplaser. I get the same answer for
a "dump" printer. Any ideas?
I then tried to set it up as a "mtx80" printer. This is recognized
but the output is a lot of empty pages and one and a half line of Xs.
Probably not the right printer?

There is another thing a wondered about. I thought the first parallel
printer port should be /dev/lp0 but the printer only answers on
/dev/lp1. Am I wrong? Is it because the parallel interface is set  
on address 0x378 ?

Thanks for your help.
