Printing : echo "toto" > /dev/usb/lp0 failed

[Jean-Patrick Pommier]

Dear all,

I have some problems these days to print. To test my printer :

[root@Xanmoo jipee]# echo "toto" > /dev/usb/lp0
bash: /dev/usb/lp0: Aucun périphérique de ce type

(no such device)

 I have been trying to update the kernel with yum (kernel 2.4-20d to
2.4-20e), bad idea this resulted in a mix with the symbolic links in
/boot
At this point it was not possible to print. After having fixed the
symbolic links, the printer was printing again.
However sucessfull prints become more and more random, then impossible
(Under MacOS8.6 the printer still prints).

Any idea? Thanks by advance.
