Whenever I do that (just lpr for example) I'll get a kernel panic. Really strange. I did all that patching and compiling two times, to be sure. I used the ACK compiler, in case that helps. The rest works fine; even the virtual consoles... :-) Any hints?

You have to increase the stack of it because it needs more for the extended partitions. Quadruple it and Your printer will work again. (Seems that the driver clobbers the printer driver is it hasn't enough stack :-) ). Minix is wonderfull! Thanks to all who helped makeing it. Walter wssaz.chvax.uucp
