The other day i tryed to atach a printer to this machine. the main problem im having is when ever i go to access /dev/lpt0 i get a device busy error if the machine is running in multi user mode. if i shut it down into single user mode i get an error code 16 cant write to /dev/lpt0 now to go into a bit more detail it is basically a low usage webserver/intranet machine with some disk space sharing via NFS to both windows and other unix machines. the kernel in this machine is a custom one, lpt0 is included in this kernel with the right addressing (both port and irq) i have read the handbook on setting it up cannot get the device to be avabial. any help would be great thanks btw it is a paralell printer :~) cheers Alex To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
