Hi, I'm trying to setup CUPS (in a jail) using an old parallel port printer on my server machine. I used ezjail to create a jail and then installed CUPS. I've got it up and running, and I can access the administration website. However, as far as I can tell, the admin website doesn't seem to offer any options regarding the parallel port. Following some research, I believe I somehow needs to create a /dev/lpt0 entry, *in* the jail. Now, that entry exists on the jail's host system, but theres a limited list of entries in the jail's /dev directory. If I do a "ls -al /dev" (less quotes) in the jail, I get the following... [root@pearl cups]# ls -al /dev total 0 dr-xr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Feb 22 19:04 fd lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 14 Feb 22 19:04 log -> ../var/run/log crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 0, 16 Feb 22 19:22 null crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 0, 122 Feb 22 19:28 ptyp0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 0, 8 Feb 22 19:04 random lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 4 Feb 22 19:04 stderr -> fd/2 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 4 Feb 22 19:04 stdin -> fd/0 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 4 Feb 22 19:04 stdout -> fd/1 crw--w---- 1 jazz tty 0, 123 Feb 22 19:28 ttyp0 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 6 Feb 22 19:04 urandom -> random crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 0, 17 Feb 22 19:04 zero Does anyone know how I go about providing the jail with a link to lpt0? Thanks, Jazz
