I know it's not a common thing to do these days but I'm trying to configure an ancient dataproducts line printer with yast. I'm using a centronics-to-dataproducts adapter and connecting it to the parallel port. I actually have this config working on 8.2. To get it to work on 8.2, in yast2 I selected UNKNOWN for the manufacture and generic-other for the model. Now I'm trying to do the same thing on a 9.0 box but I don't have the same selections to choose from. I have a GENERIC under the mfgr but under that I have no generic-other to choose from. It appears that everything is for postscript, pcl, etc... How do I configure this "dumb" printer with yast in SuSE 9.0?
Thanks Mark
