Hi,
	I have been running an old freebsd 2.2.2 server for years now, it has been
running with out any problems what so ever. The other day i tryed to atach
a printer to this machine.

the main problem im having is when ever i go to access /dev/lpt0 i get a
device busy error if the machine is running in multi user mode.
if i shut it down into single user mode i get an error code 16 cant write
to /dev/lpt0

now to go into a bit more detail it is basically a low usage
webserver/intranet machine with some disk space sharing via NFS to both
windows and other unix machines.

the kernel in this machine is a custom one, lpt0 is included in this kernel
with the right addressing (both port and irq)
i have read the handbook on setting it up cannot get the device to be avabial.

any help would be great thanks

btw it is a paralell printer :~)

cheers

Alex
