To fix this, either do: # modprobe ppdev or rebuild your kernel with this module built-in. If you use modprobe, you will have to do it each boot or setup your system to load it automatically. Consult your distro docs on how to do this. -Don Riccardo wrote: > My printer is connected via parallel port > The output of hp-check: > > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ hp-check > > HP Linux Imaging and Printing System (ver. 1.6.6) > Dependency/Version Check Utility ver. 2.1 > > Copyright (c) 2003-6 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, LP > This software comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY. > This is free software, and you are welcome to distribute it > under certain conditions.
