I also changed the device in the printcap from /dev/lp to /dev/lpt0 since there was no /dev/lp. The problem now is that it takes over an hour to print /etc/rc. Does anybody know of a way to speed this up? Also the banner wraps around on itself even though I added pw=80 in the printcap entry. myname.my.domain ends up looking like mdyonmaamien.my Thanks in advance for any assistance.
