Hi Kathy, I have stopped and restarted the cupsd before and after every change. I have the parport compiled into the kernel, not as a separate module, but I can certainly try that.
Here is a section of my /etc/log/cups/error_log file after stopping and starting cupsd: I [25/Nov/2003:10:45:01 -0600] Listening to c0a80114:631 I [25/Nov/2003:10:45:01 -0600] Loaded configuration file "/etc/cups/cupsd.conf" I [25/Nov/2003:10:45:01 -0600] Configured for up to 100 clients.

I'm open to suggestions. Thanks again for your help. Harlan...
