I downloaded the binary distribution from agate.berkeley.edu. But the printer (LPT1) never worked. I found out there was no "/dev/lp". I tried to make one with "mknod", but I don't know the major and minor device number. In fact, I don't even know if my kernel supports the parallel port. I noticed that in the MAKEDEV file, the printer part was left blank. Can any one tell me how to make my printer work? I'd appreciate it.
