    Well, all my lp* files are in order, but in order to use tunelp, I find
that I need the files /proc/parport/*/* But I don't have a directory called
parport under the proc filesystem. My printer is a dot-matrix and the port to
which is connected (LPT1) is assigned an IRQ of 7 at startup, and uses the
file /dev/lp1. I want to know what files to add under the parport directory
parport, or how to create the necessary files. I can't print and this is
getting to my head. Can somebody send me the listing and the files under the
above mentioned directory?

Regards,
Steve Fernandez.
