Hi,

I want to install my printer by following http://www.gentoo.org/doc/nl/printing-howto.xml, but I don't have a /dev/lp0, what could I've done wrong, didn't do.

BTW1: my printer is connected and switched on...
BTW2: my kernel config for parallel support looks like:
Code:

<*>Parallel port support
<*>  PC-style hardware
all the rest is switched off (not build in, not as a module)
