Configure 2nd printer port on rh9
I am a relative noob to linux and wanting to learn as much as possible:
I have installed a server (non-graphic)on rh9 and it needed a second printer port. I bought one of those that connects to a serial PCI card. I assumed redhat would have found this, but it does not. How do I go about configuring this as lpt1 ( as the first one shows as lpt0 . When I do cat /etc/hosts > lp0 it works fine but not when doing the same on lp1. Anyone that can help would be great as this is an urgent situation for me Thanks in advance |
Re: 2nd printer
The pci serial card would have a unique node name.
Example the built in COM port is /dev/ttyS0 and/or /dev/ttyS1. If this pci serial card does not require a special driver then it might appear as a ttyS device. Run "dmesg" and grep for tty. example: vo ~ # dmesg | grep tty serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A 00:02: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A |
