Re: [Sheflug] printing post cable modem

even with a permenant network connection - which many have in the form of a 
lan don't forget - printing shouldn't be affected. /dev/lp0 is a local 
parallel port unless you have it symlinked to somewhere else.

Printtool is TBH very good at setting up printers - pity SuSE makes such a 
dogs dinner of it. Printing is one feature where RH & Mandrake (especially 
now with CUPS, which is nice!) do have the edge. 

What happens if you do "<path-to>lpd restart" then "lpc restart all" and "lpc 
status"?
Any clues from dmesg at startup? What does /var/log/messages have to say?
