I don't know if this is your problem, but I have seen similar issues. _In my case_, CUPS as ported does not like the permissions on /dev/lpt0*. They default to "crw-------"; setting them to "crw-rw-rw-" makes the parallel printer appear. There should be a way to tall devfs to change those permissions automatically, but I haven't been able to figure it out. Robert Huff
