First of all, yes, you do need to enable parallel port support under character devices. What about the bzImage? That's the kernel itself, which you built into the kernel, and you didn't recompile it. :) # make dep && make bzImage modules modules_install (modules and modules_install aren't necessary if you didn't add any new modules) # mount /boot # cp /boot/bzImage /boot/bzImage.orig (That's for backup) # cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot Restart, and you should be good to go :) > > but the dmesg still did show that a printer was > detected.
