Does printtool find an open lp port or does it say they are all
"Not detected". This was a problem with earlier RedHat
distributions and may still be due to a missing line in
/etc/conf.modules (I use parport compiled in so it doesn't
affect my RH 6.1). Try adding the line "alias parport_lowlevel
parport_pc", this tells the kernel to use the parport_pc driver
for low level port access (as aposed to the SUN driver, etc.).
