First a tested the port as described in (>>>>the very clear<<<< hmmmm) sysadmin
manual.
I found out that the standerd printer port was attached to /dev/lp1, and so
while assuming that /dev/lp was a link to /dev/lp0, I linked /dev/lp to /dev/lp1Then /dev/lp /dev/lp0 /dev/lp1 all three had 3 links.  So (>>> very stupid, this is not very joung readers <<<) I did "rm /dev/lp /dev/lp0" and lost my printer
device.
So how can I get it back????

hwconfig gives:
	name=parallel base=0x3BC offset=0x2 vec=07 dma=- unit=1 
	>>> Missing base/finish address in hex format 0x????

while typing "date > /dev/lp1" answers:
	/dev/lp1: cannot create.

again what should I do to get it back?

Ilja,
