Hi, Here's what happened when I tried to give the following command: echo "hello world" > /dev/lp0 The system gave an error, "/dev/lp0: device not found" Also the /var/log/messages file contained the following lines: Nov 23 10:14:38 localhost modprobe: can't locate module parport_lowlevel Nov 23 10:14:39 localhost modprobe: can't locate module parport_lowlevel Nov 23 10:14:39 localhost kernel: lp: driver loaded but no devices found This seems to be the reason why my printer is not autodetected by printtool. Please help!!! I am using kernel 2.2 with RHL6.1 ... I found the following files in the /lib/modules/kernel-2.2.12-2/misc/ directory: parport.o parport_pc.o parport_probe.o The kernel rpm's are alright, which I verified using "rpm-V" Sameer.
