I don't think this is the same problem. Without the alias line in
conf.modules, I would expect you to get "Device not configured" when you
try this:
# echo > /dev/lp0
On the other hand, Juha's problem seems to be that there is no error
reported on the command line, just that the printer doesn't do anything.
In addition, it seems that Juha's print spooler configuration might have
something wrong, although without seeing the exact message it's hard to
say.
Juha, have I understood correctly?
Tim.
