ok so i have a freshly cocmpiled slack 9 system.

I installed a printer into the usb port and the soffware installed just as
smooth as well. ( samsung ml171o laser monochrome 0 and it works great
with linux tried it on my laptop first


WHen I go to print it says

cannot open .dev.lp0 no such device?

I compiled into the kernel usb printer support.

Did I perhaps miss something

You likely did the exact same thing I did when I first tried to install a
USB printer under Linux. You need more than just usb printer support.
You also need ohci or uhci (IIRC) support for your chipset.

Just a guess:
What about '/dev/usb/lp0'?

Told you so. :^)

IIRC it was some one here that showed me the light on that problem, or
maybe it was the old Slackware forums.
