Whenever the cable is in, the lpt0 and lpa0 messages don't appear at bootup. But, if I unplug the printer cable, they show up during the boot process. I can't figure out why this might be; does anyone else know? I have an HP LJ II as my printer, and it works fine under DOS/Windows. Any information would be appreciated. Note: even if the printer is off, as long as the cable is in both the 'puter and the printer, lpt0 will not be acknowledged. I haven't tried unplugging it from the printer, as that seems kind of silly, since I can just turn the printer off. It may not be (silly).
