I've got *both* this (Charactar devices) and the CONFIG_PARAPORT parallel support compiled into the kernel, but no luck. I've also reedited /etc/printcap for lp0 and lp1, to try each port (you might try this yourself). No luck. With me, the initial problem was lacking the correct permissions for the /var/spool/lpd/"printer"....auto.... directory. Jobs didn't spool. Now that I've chmod 755'd the directory, print jobs spool okay, but I still get this error: lpr: connect: Connection refused jobs queued, but cannot start daemon The man pages indicate that what's going on here is this: lpr can't talk to the daemon (which is already started, because I verified this w/ ps aux). I'm really mystified with this problem, which has consumed a vast amount of time. Is your situation similar? Any gurus know what's going on? -- Glenn --
Yes, I have lpd started it shows up at the end of the boot messages. I went back through the make menuconfig and I must have been mistaken on the parallel printer support. I am unable to find it anywhere in 2.2.2. There is a parallel port support ( CONFIG_PARPORT ) however compiling this in does not solve the problem. I am at a loss as to where the printer suport is, it usually resides in Character devices. Has anyone experienced this before? Is my source tar ball missing something? Or does the new kernel handle printing differently and I'm just not seeing where it is?
