Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.81e X-Operating-System: FreeBSD breizh 4.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 4.0-CURRENT Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG No, not a joke :) nlpt name was only a trick not to collide with lpt while both were in the system. As you noticed, the old isa lpt driver has been removed. Consequently, nlpt makes no more sense. This is I hope the last confusion about printing drivers... before the next one. So, here is one of the right declarations to get your printer working: controller ppbus0 device lpt0 at ppbus? device ppc0 at isa? port? tty irq 7 Please, read carefully the lpt(4) manpage. It's not long and will reveal you last lpt features. It's important for us to get feedback about all of this, since we'd like to rapidly move the changes to 3.1 before the jump. Have fun until the next time ;) -- nsouch@teaser.fr / nsouch@freebsd.org FreeBSD - Turning PCs into workstations - http://www.FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
