Howdy,
I would like to use a parallel printer with my NetBSD system.
I have poked around in /sys/i386/conf, but there don't seem to be
any configuration files with an example of how to configure in
lpt.
I have (briefly) experimented with the interruptless lpt
driver mentioned in the FAQ, tried to adapt the instructions to
work with NetBSD rather than 386bsd, but couldn't get the kernel
to compile (errors in some files included by the new lpt.c).
If you can give me a vague idea of what I need to do, I
would be very grateful.
Thanks,
Dave
