Hi thanks to the following folks for their suggestions as to what device should be used when setting up a printer on an Ultra-5: Jon.Godfrey@primus.com michael.auria@philips.com flegal@seo-toulouse.com malc.holden@itc.alstom.com sysadmin@as.astro.su.se Turns out /dev/ecpp0 is the correct port to use. The printer is directly attached to the parallel port on the back of the Ultra-5 and JetDirect was not involved. Thanks to those who responded. Scotty ------------------------------------------------------------------- Original message: Hi there - title says it all. I need to know the device lp prints to on a Sun Ultra-5. We are hooking up an HP C2300 impact printer (type 'HP' in admintool), and need to know the device name - first time I tried this, it defaulted to /dev/term/a which doesn't seem right for a parallel port printer. Anyway, the prnter is currently hooked up, online and not showing any errors. Lpstat -t shows the printer as enabled and accepting print jobs. Any ideas?
