    Hi folks,

    I've recently upgraded from 8.2 to 9.1 and have run into all sorts of problems
    with printers.

    I've given up on cups, but I now think its a hardware issue not a cups issue
    anyway and am wondering if anyone can tell me why my lp ports are as follows.

    server:/home/pnunn # ls -l /dev/lp*
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5 2004-08-30 21:56 /dev/lp0
    crw-rw---- 1 root lp 6, 1 2004-04-06 23:27 /dev/lp1
    crw-rw---- 1 root lp 6, 2 2004-04-06 23:27 /dev/lp2

    Why would lp0 not be crw?

    Is that why when I try and print, it just vanishes into this air?

    If so, how do I change it back to crw?

    Thanks.

    Peter Nunn.
