when using foomatic-configure, i need to know $print_device_path. in /dev, there is no lp0 or anything remotely to do with printing. what do i enter here? or how do i get to lp0?

| i went back and enabled parallel printer support just now.. on 'find /dev/l*', the only file is /dev/log. is there anything besides parallel printer support that i need enabled? (i did enable parallel port support, pc-style hardware, multi-io cards, and use fifo/dma if available.) |

You're also going to need to enable parallel printer support in the character devices section. It took me a while to find that one too.

ok i found out that i didn't recompile the kernel correctly, so i fixed that and now i see /dev/lp0. but now when i run
foomatic-configure -s cups -p 61536 -c file:/dev/lp0 -n HP -d pnmp2pp
i get the following message:
lpadmin: Unable to connect to server: Connection refused
Could not set up/change the queu "hp"! |
