Terve!


I'm trying to install a printer to my Interactive 386/ix V.3.2.
I want to use the parallel port.

When I try to send something to /dev/lp, I get error msg this way:

cat foobar > /dev/lp

/dev/lp: cannot create

So, the port won't work. What is the problem? Have I configured something
wrong? I did chmod 777 /dev/lp but it didnt help. What would??

Timo
