- Sometime ago I mentioned that I was constantly getting DEV_BUSY message
- for my serial printer queue's after upgrading from 3.2.2 to 3.2.3. I also
- said that when I turned the DTR option for that serial port than things
- started working. Well it is more complicated.
-
- When I rebooted my system the DEV_BUSY problem came back despite the DTR
- being off. Than I said let me go and change something in the device
- description. So I changed the irrelavant timeout parameter. Again, things
- started working. The device was always listed as available. So, somehow
- when the system is booted something is not up for the serial ports but
- executing a change from the devices menu brings this up.
-
- Just for you info. I presume someone will have a solution perhaps IBM.
