David Taylor (rhmdt@minyos.its.rmit.EDU.AU) spake thusly:
: I'm new to Linux but have been having a lot of fun finding my way around
: the complex directory structure. I have Redhat 4.1 on a '486 PC at home.
: 
a good way to start.

: All was well until I installed W95 on a partition on the HDD which, of
: course, blew away LILO. I managed to copy the kernal onto the DOS
: partition and can now boot with LOADLIN - great, I thought.
: Now printing to a dot-matrix printer on LPT1 is odd. lpr works normally
: (and the ghostscript filters are a wonder!!) but when I start X and use
: the Redhat printtool it takes ages to start then flags an error - saying
: that nenscript is not installed. A search of the man pages turned up
: nothing - what is this PLEASE!

the problem is that you haven't installed the nenscript package that RH4.1
requires for running lpd (line printer daemon). So the simple thing to do
is to install them from the cdrom, startup the printer control panel and
check that you can send a test page to your printer.
