UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hi,

I am trying to add a parallel printer to my SCO OSR6 server, yet when I run mkdev parallel it just brings up the message: "Parallel Ports are configured automatically in SCO Openserver 6".

So when I try and add a local printer, no /dev/lp# ports are shown in the list, only serial ports are shown.

I had a look on the SCO website and it said to add the port manually using dcu and I have tried that but it still doesn't show up.

Help please

I had do the bottom half of How can I add and configure a parallel port card on my existing OpenServer 6.0.0 system? on the SCO site to get two PCI-Express parallel port cards working for printing. They both appeared in DCU already. You can check by doing DCU -> Software Device Drivers -> Miscellaneous -> mfpd, press [F6] for info. The ports should be listed. Then all thats missing is the Y in the one config file covered by the article above.
