- The following problem is driving me berserk; any help would be much
- appreciated.
-
- I have a 9000/300, to which I used to have a printer attached by the
- parallel port. There was always a problem, in that it only worked
- with a kernel built on one of the two server nodes we have.
- Unfortunately, that server died fairly permanently recently, so I'm
- stuck with a defunct parallel interface/driver. The symptom is that any
- attempt to open /dev/parallel (which is major 21, minor 0x170000)
- fails with EOPNOTSUPP .
- I've tried every plausible kernel configuration to no avail. The
- really irritating thing is that the parallel interface on the server
- node *does* work; even if I take the server dfile and make the minimum
- changes necessary to turn into a client dfile, I still get EOPNOTSUPP
- on my client.
-
- Any ideas? (The OS is HP-UX 8.00.)
