Hi,

> What did you try sending to /dev/ulpt0 that caused things to lock up?

Anything I tried caused the system to lock up. Here are some examples

konrad@localhost /home/konrad # lptest > /dev/ulpt0
^C
konrad@localhost /home/konrad # ls > /dev/ulpt0
^C
konrad@localhost /home/konrad # cat /etc/cvsupfile > /dev/ulpt0
^C

So it means that my printer is a winprinter?


Thanks!
