Suggestion: Redhat 6 doesn't seem to load the parallel port drivers by default. do 'modprobe lp' as root, then restart the printer daemon. If a whole lot of stuff starts printing (all those spooled files) Then add that command to your /etc/rc.d/rc.local 'lsmod' lists the currently loaded driver modules. I think that parport_pc will not be in that list. As always if you need to run something as root: If you're not familiar with modules or modprobe, then read up on them before running the command. They're not dangerous commands, but it's a good idea anyway. (i.e. I'm a stranger, don't blindly trust what I say. :) -- Jessica Mayo.
