I have a HP Business InkJet 2250 connected to a parallel printer port on my SuSE system. The last time that I was able to share the printer was under SuSE 9.1 using LPRng. Using CUPS, I could never get it configured. I didn't bother with it under SuSE 9.2. After upgrading to SuSE 9.3, I decided to have another go at sharing the printer with other systems. After mucking about with it over the weekend, I noticed that there was a cupsd.conf.rpmnew file. I decided to remove and re-install the software using YaST. Although the CUPS installation went smoothly, I continued to have problems. The reason I was having problems was that YaST had removed /dev/lp0. Every time that I try to add the device, YaST complains that the printer isn't there. How do I get /dev/lp0 back short of re-installing SuSE 9.3 on another disk?
