I am using pcqlinux 7.1 w/ an everything install. On running printconf-gui
from kde, I am able to set up my HP 670C, lpd is restarting but it gives an
error on trying to print a test page. This is from my /var/log/messages:

I have the following in /etc/modules.conf:

alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc 


What is going wrong ? Identical steps for configuring the printer had worked
for my old i810 mobo and te same printer. The printer is able to print a
self-test page.

On a seemingly relate note, whwnever I start X an error message saying
Hostname:error setting up hostname

or something similar momentarily flashes across the screen and then X starts.

This is my /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1               farzaan localhost.localdomain localhost


also:

[root@farzaan /etc]# uname -n
farzaan.localdomain
