I just installed vmware on my 2.4.14 machine, and now I can't seem to
print from Linux. The vmware install script created four devices,
/dev/parport0
/dev/parport16
/dev/parport32
/dev/parport48
Which, according to the documentation, are some sort of bidirectional
ports (as opposed to the unidirectional port, lp0).
Now when I try to print from Linux, I get no indication that anything is
wrong, either from lpr or lpd. When I run lpq, I can see the jobs there. It
just doesn't print.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Dhruva
