Hi there! Recently I have installed a printserver at my work to make use of all those USB-printers in our network. Everything is running fine, thank you :) The printers are turned off every night, and they get there /dev-entry when turned on again, as expected. Cups is serving them on the network, so Cups looks for the appropriate /dev/ulpt*. I have had to teach my colleagues to turn the printers on in the right order. When they are switched on in a different order, the wrong printer gets /dev/ulpt0, another wrong printer gets /dev/ulpt1 etc. Is there a way to get around this? Can I assign a /dev/ulpt*-entry to a certain device, even when it is off? Or is there another workaround (in Cups perhaps)? A CC would be appreciated, I'm not subscribed. Thanks, regards, Fi-Ji. -- Frans-Jan v. Steenbeek Pakhuisweg 16-II NL-6718XJ Ede the Netherlands T: 0318 516714 06-43536482 E: frans-jan@van-steenbeek.net
