Whenever I try to write to the port it says "device busy". I've tried this as myself and as root. I killed lpd. I removed /dev/lpt0 and re-MAKEDEV'd it. I even checked the connectors. Any other clues? -- Daniel Odom System administrator (sometimes) and web guy (the rest of the time) daniel@spidome.net http://www.spidome.net/daniel.html finger me for a PGP key
