Hi I hope this question will not be too much of a trouble for you, I have spent some time looking around the documentation and could not find answer for it myself so here goes: I owuld like to use the Paralel Prot of a FreeBSD running machine to control another very simple device which is not a printer. The interface to that device, however, is not compatible with the interface to a printer and does not support the hardware hand-shake protocol a normal printer would do. Is there a way I could reconfigure the kernel respectively the /dev/lpt0 device to ignore those errors and simply dump numbers to the parallel port? It has to be something very simple, but I don't seem to be able to find it., Thanks a lot. Sincerely Jivko Koltchev
