Can you help with a FreeBSD 2.0.5 printing issue? I can't figure out why /dev/lp is needed by lpr. The device file is not created by installing, nor by running /dev/MAKEDEV, nor is it even on the "live filesystem" CD #2 in the CD package. How would one go about using lpr/lp? I have a valid printcap and all; lpr -Pcanon produces valid output (my printer name is "canon"). I tried to see if lpd could use a different device file, but it insists on /dev/lp, which doesn't seem to exist.
