Hello,
I have a problem reading data from the parallel port /dev/lp0. I want to
read the status
from the printer. How do I do that. I have tried the read function call but
this gives me
an error 5.
regards
Johan den Boer

1. ls > /dev/lp0 fails--but /dev/lp0 exists
I'm new to Linux. I just loaded the Slackware distribution onto Swan 386SX,
386DX/25 and 486DX. I have the same problem on all of them:
ls > /dev/lp0 gives:
bash: /dev/lp0: no such device.
ls -al /dev/lp0 gives:
crw-rw---- 1 root lp 6, 0 Nov 30 14:30 /dev/lp0
Nothing prints.
All these machines print fine on lpt1: under DOS. I've read the
print HOWTO and "Linux Installation and Getting Started." On the 386SX,
uname -a gives:
Linux alinux 1.0 #9 Tue Mar 15 18:27:34 CST 1994 i386
I'd appreciate any help you can give.
2. Limiting WWW server throughput
3. Printing problem : ls > /dev/lp0 -- /dev/lp0 : No Such Device ?
5. Printtool not seeing my printer on /dev/lp0, /dev/lp1 or /dev/lp2
6. Need to Upgrade from 4.1.4 to 4.2
7. /dev/lp0 timeouts and "invalide error status"
8. Horrible response times over 14.4k PPP
10. /dev/lp0 nor /dev/lp1 getting detected
11. /dev/sequencer and /dev/lp0
12. How to fix - read error, I/O error dev 08:11 sector 999999
13. Reading data from /dev/modem
