Hi Steve This definitely works on Bering. I've used it on rc3, rc4 and stable. I've reproduced it on a number of installations. I have a floppy disk at work containing Bering_1.0-stable and P9100, that I shove into an old 486 to give me an instant emergency print server. I've also added a second ISA parallel port card on one 486 to handle 2 printers.
I can't remember how long I've been using p9100 with Bering at home - ages, but it's been fine. rc3 required you to create /dev/lp0, but that was changed in rc4. The main thing is making sure you have the modules loaded. Someone has already replied with that information, but for completeness, they are: parport parport_pc lp Are you doing this? What do you see when the modules load during boot? You should see messages like these, which are from my machine. parport0: PC-style at 0x378 parport0: irq7 detected lp0: using parport0 (polling) lp0: compatibility mode Are you familiar with dmesg? If not, type it in on the Bering console after it has booted to see the messages. The modules are loaded in the normal way. You could put them into initrd, but I'm not sure that achieves anything more. Alternatively, you could try loading the modules manually just to see what happens I can't think of anything else I had to do. IIRC the process will not start unless you have the printer modules loaded. Once you see the process in ps, you should be there. Portscan the Bering box as well if you need to check the port is open.
