Questions:

   Version: FreeBSD 4.1  CDROM

   Hardwar: IBM PPro 200MHz  64MB Ram

   Symptomes:  Printer not functioning

   Attached: dmesg.out   - output of dmesg
             KERNEL_MAX1 - kernel config file
             dev.files   - lpt devices in /dev
  

    When I recently switched from 2.2.8 to 4.1, the
    printer no longer prints.  When issuing the
    following commands, the following output appears:

        "cat myfile > /dev/lpt0"  yields:

           ksh: cannot create /dev/ltp0: Device not configured

        "lpr myfile"  produces no error msg to the screen
                      but NO printer output either.
 
     As far as I know, I have followd the directions in the
     "handbook".

     I see no mention of lpt? in the output of dmesg, which
     leads me to believe that there is not kernel support.
     However, I have added printer support to the kernel
     config file and rebuilt the kernel, twice, with the
     same results, see attached files.

     Additionally, there was not support for lpt? in the
     GENERIC kernel.

     I'd appreciate any wisdom on this, as I need to be
     able to print any number of files.
