Just adding Marco's two lines did the trick. My conf.modules was empty, so I have some investigation left to see just what's up with modules. As to Ray's suggestion, /dev/lp* devices were present, so I didn't have to mknod /dev/lp0 c 6 0 So Marco and Ray, thanks very much for the help. Had I suspected it would turn out so quick and easy, I wouldn't have waited a week to try it :) David > -----Original Message----- > From: Marco Calistri [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Saturday, April 14, 2001 9:17 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: Printer problem > > > > Admitting you gave parallel port support to your linux-kernel > (as module or static support),look into your /etc/conf.modules > (the path/names could change depending on versions) > and check if you have these lines: > > alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc > options parport_pc io=0x378, irq=7 > - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
