Installing lp in potato..
When selecting the device driver module for lp (line printer) in potato I get this error: /lib/modules/2.2.14/misc/lp.o: init_module: Device or resource busy /lib/modules/2.2.14/misc/lp.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.2.14/misc/lp.o failed /lib/modules/2.2.14/misc/lp.o: insmod lp failed. Installation failed. The lp support in potato (2.2.x kernels) has been split into two parts. You need to load parport_pc.o and lp.o (in that order) or it won't work. Any io or irq parms must be specified to parport_pc.o and the parport# specified to lp.o Drove me batty for a while trying to get the lp driver(s) to grab only one of my three parallel ports. = Amateur Radio, when all else fails! http://www.qsl.net/wa2mze Debian Gnu Linux, Live Free or . __ Do You Yahoo!?
