[SLE] no printer option in yast
I just installed 6.3 and can't get the printer to work. This machine had 6.0 before, now I can't seem to print, I am using my old /etc/printcap file. I loaded lprold from the 6.2 cd, and that has worked on other machines, but I don't have an option in YAST to install printers. Any help/ideas would be greatly appreciated. I did a minimal install on this machine, but parallel printing is loaded in the kernel.

there is. Did you oversee it? System Administration --> Integrate Hardware --> configure printer (or what comes next in sense... ;-))

At some point (think it was Kernel 2.2.x) the naming of the lp? devicex changed. lp0 and lp1 swaped. SuSE 6.0 was still 2.0.36 or something... Just a guess.
