[linux-help] Re: Printer on Red Hat 6.2

[Bruce Bales <bbales@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I found a website that explains that many folks setting up servers didn't want 
xwindows so RH left it out
of the regular server set-up.  This site also tells how to add xwindows.  I may 
have to go ahead and do
that so that (hopefully) I can use printtool.

Had hoped I could avoid windows, but that may be the only way I'll get the 
printer to work.

I don't understand the /proc directory, but on the Mandrake machine, there is a 
directory /proc/parport.
I tried to mkdir to add a parport directory to the RH box, but "permission 
denied."
