I upgraded to RH 6.1 after the last ALUG meeting (pretty impressed so far) and my lp ports have disappeared. I have twp parallel ports lp0 and lp1 RH's print tool fails to find them. Dos however has no problems with either lpt1 or lpt2. I have tried spp, epp and ecp ports in the BIOS to no avail. RH 6.0 had an option to set up your printer during the install routine which is no more in 6.1. This shouldn't be a problem for me because RH supply a nice graphical tool for the purpose (printtool) but as I said before printtool can't find my ports. Any ideas folks, is there something I should have done on install (yes I know I could/should have used the RH cd as a coaster and installed Debian but IMHO Debian's installer is not for the faint hearted).
Any help appreciated.
Changing the subject what impact do you think the DOJ judgement against MS will have on the Open Source community?
