I'm attempting to configure my SPARCstation 4 as a print server, but I
have just noticed I don't have /dev/lp* on the box. I'm somewhat stumped
and have been trawling the web trying to find any references on how to get
these devices configured so I can print to my heart's joy (i.e what do I
need to tell mknod to do?) I looked in MAKEDEV but didn't see anything for
/dev/lp*

[root@sparc4]/dev # ls /dev/lp*
ls: No match.

[root@sparc4/dev # dmesg|grep bpp
bpp0 at sbus0 slot 4 offset 0xc800000 level 2 (ipl 3): rev 2

Thanks for any clues,
Alex.
