To get around the printer port detection problem in RH 6.1,
I included the following lines in /etc/rc.d/rc.local :
insmod /lib/modules/2.2.12-20/misc/parport.o
insmod /lib/modules/2.2.12-20/misc/parport_pc.o io=0x378 irq=7
# insmod /lib/modules/2.2.12-20/misc/parport_pc.o io=0x378 irq=auto
insmod /lib/modules/2.2.12-20/misc/parport_probe.o
insmod /lib/modules/2.2.12-20/misc/lp.o parport=0
and rebooted the machine and my printer port became available as
/dev/lp0. You can try experimenting with line 3 instead of line 2.
For me, line 2 worked.
I didn't bother to run the RH printer config tool. I always print
by copying my file directly to the printer port (I have to make it
world-wrieable first).
