Hello,
as the subject says, is it possible to use the parallel port of the DEC Alpha
400 4/233 out of OSF/1 V3.2. If I access the port (through "file /dev/lp0"),
I get /dev/lp0: character special (34/0)
and a message onto the console "lp0: printer error"....

Any hints ??

Thanks,

        Lukas Rosenthaler
