Hello and thanks for the prompt responses!
I thought the question was quite simple. I just never had to do it
before. Thanks!
My question was:
.I have a sparc5 with a parallel port (//).
>What special file do I use to access this port (ie. /dev/ttya is serial
>A). And do I just substitute the answer to the above with the
>lp=/dev/ttya in the printcap?
The answer:
/dev/bpp(x)
where bpp stands for bidirectional parallel port and (x) is the instance
of the port (ie. /dev/bpp0).
