Hi,

I have installed Lunar about 2 weeks ago and I like it very much.
So far I've had mainly one problem that bothers me - for some reason the
device for my parallel port printer is not created. I don't have
/dev/lp* or /dev/parport* or any other variation that I am familiar
with. I have parport compiled in the kernel, and I also tried to compile
it as a module, but still the device is not created. Since I'm not
familiar with devfs, I have no idea how to continue from here.

Any suggestions ?

Thanks,

Yoav
