have you done
Code:
rc-update add cupsd default
maybe it's just plain cups I can't remember. Have you set up cups using http://localhost:631?

I don't think you need /dev/lp0, should use lpr script or something.

worked for me, well can't check now, using friends system, cya lX

Assuming you have a printer using the parallel port.

Did you enable parallel printer support in your Kernel-Config.?



#
# Parallel port support
#
CONFIG_PARPORT=y
CONFIG_PARPORT_PC=y
CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_CML1=y

and

#
# Character devices
#
CONFIG_PRINTER=y


I forgot those and could'nt even cofigure the printer with the KDE-Printing Manger


so long

Yep checked and I have the /dev/lp0 entry, stupid stupid stupid ofcourse I have it it's for for printer support on the parallel port. in make menuconfig it's char devices -> parallel printer support (CONFIG_PRINT in previous post).

thought i had parallel stuff in there, but it wasnt, once recompiled, lp0 was there and cups was successfully reconfigured correctly....but the recompile broke my sound, so i had to reinstall alsa etc but all is well :)
