Hello Admin wizards,

original question was:
is it possible to use an old 24needle Printer (IBM Proprinter) to the
parallel port of a DEC Alpha 1000/333 / True64 4.0f ?
It seems that the parallel port is not /dev/lp0 as I would have expected
from Linux
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Answer was:
As root, cd into /dev and then do ./MAKEDEV lp
The parallel port should be be /dev/lp0
as you expected. Check out these man pages
ports(7)
lprsetup(8)
MAKEDEV(8)
and the system administration manual of course.
