Hi, I have some news. After sending some text to the printer (DEskJet 720C) the sun halted but then I unplugged the printer cable from the sun it came alive again. So it seems a hardware problem ? Is there a similar printer port on the Ultra 10? It looks similar to the PC's.
I used modprobe parport_ax and modprobe lp to get access to the /dev/lp0 To Ragga: I'm using 2.2.17 kernel from Debian 2.2r0 and sun4u Ultra 10 with PCI bus. I'm tried the bpp module with the stock kernel: ~# insmod bpp Using /lib/modules/2.2.17/misc/bpp.o /lib/modules/2.2.17/misc/bpp.o: init_module: Device or resource busy Hint: this error can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters and ~# modprobe bpp /lib/modules/2.2.17/misc/bpp.o: init_module: Device or resource busy Hint: this error can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters /lib/modules/2.2.17/misc/bpp.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.2.17/misc/bpp.o failed /lib/modules/2.2.17/misc/bpp.o: insmod bpp failed modprobe parport_ax modprobe lp works but then I have the problem with the printer. To Jean-Paul Blaquiere I tried printing through the lpr daemon as well. Gabor
