    We have just installed an HP LaserJet III on our brand new hp9000 345
We would like to connect it to the parallel port on the hp, however 
our manuals do not inform us how to make a dev file for this particular port.

Does any one know what major and minor numbers to use for 
mknod to get this printer running on either the parallel port 
or even the rs-232 port.

We have tried what the manual suggests as far as the rs-232 port goes, which
was:
	mknod /dev/lp c 1 0x090004
	along with the stty -paren etc... stuff in the rc file
but this did not go anywhere.

Any suggestions?
It would be nice to get i connected to the parallel port.

Please mail me at longstre@cae.wisc.edu
thanks
