I can't get the printer port to work! When I config a lpa0 -port to the kernel, /dev/lpa0 says "device not configured", and when I config a lpt0 -port, /dev/lpt0 says "status 0, device busy". I know most of you have working printer ports, so tell me what I am doing wrong! Configurations that I tried: device lpa0 at isa? port "IO_LPT1" tty (in /sys/i386/conf/MYNAME) /dev/lpa0 major 25, minor 0 device lpt0 at isa? port "IO_LPT1" tty irq 7 vector lptintr /dev/lpt0 major 16, minor 0 Again, any help would be greatly appreciated.
