Printer problems.

Hi folks, I've recently upgraded from 8.2 to 9.1 and have run into all sorts of problems with printers. I've given up on cups, but I now think its a hardware issue not a cups issue anyway and am wondering if anyone can tell me why my lp ports are as follows. server:/home/pnunn # ls -l /dev/lp* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5 2004-08-30 21:56 /dev/lp0 crw-rw---- 1 root lp 6, 1 2004-04-06 23:27 /dev/lp1 crw-rw---- 1 root lp 6, 2 2004-04-06 23:27 /dev/lp2 Why would lp0 not be crw? Is that why when I try and print, it just vanishes into this air? If so, how do I change it back to crw? Thanks. Peter Nunn. -- Use Computers?.... ....Think IT! InfoTeq Pty. Ltd.
