I have an HP Deskjet hooked up to my sparc. Just make sure you have these options selected in the kernel when compiling: CONFIG_PARPORT=m CONFIG_PARPORT_AX=m CONFIG_PARPORT_LOWLEVEL_MODULE=y CONFIG_PARPORT_OTHER=y CONFIG_PRINTER=m CONFIG_PRINTER_READBACK=y Then be sure to load these modules: parport_pc parport_ax lp
