I'm trying to set up my printer (lpd) but I'm a bit confused. The handbook says to use dmesg | grep lpt to see if the kernel has lpt support. Instead of getting lpt0 at 0x378-0x37f on isa I get lpt0: <Printer> on ppbus0 lpt0: Interrupt-driven port Is this correct? Also, when I try to set the communications mode I get lptcontrol -p /dev/lpt0 lptcontrol: open: Device busy The handbook also says to place "lptcontrol -p -u N" in /etc/rc.local but there' s two problems: the "-u" option is not supported and the file /etc/rc.local doesn't exsist. I know there's a place to store user rc type code so that I could run lptcontrol on startup, but I forgot where that was. Any hints?
