I have a parallel port printer configured in Solaris 10 using /dev/printers/0 which is a symlink to /devices/pci(a)1f,0/isa@7/dma@0,0/parallel@0,378:ecpp0 (of course it might be different in your system)

(No such file or directory)<EOT> There used to be a pkgadd postinstall script bug for the parallel printer driver in S10-x86 and OpenSolaris-x86 (upto build 60), which resulted in no device entries created for parallel printer devices: Bug ID: 6374608 Synopsis: No /devices entry for line printer http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6374608 Workaround is to manually install the missing driver binding entry, using the command: update_drv -a -i '"lp"' ecpp This workaround should create the missing /dev/lp* devices. And after running it, you should find the following line in "prtconf -D" output: lp, instance #0 (driver name: ecpp)
