So far I understood that the data port for a USB printer becomes /dev/ulpt0 instead of /dev/lpt0 which is for a PARALLEL printer. But, when I turn on my HP printer there is no /dev/ulpt0 while the printer is recognized on the USB bus (checked with usbconfig). Then, the problem is: What should I do so that lpt0 appears in /dev or a HP printer. (I don't really like fancy features of CUPS and HPLIP) I simply need printing!
