my kernel is 2.4.18 i typed "modprobe lp irq=7", but saw no change.
flwg command "#cat output.prn >dev/usb/lp0" worked well.But "#lpr print.ps", found that either or both usb-uhci and/or printer modules are indispensable. without one or both of them it would produce a warning "bash: /dev/usb/lp0: No such device". # lpinfo -v lpinfo: Unable to connect to server: Connection refused "lspci -v -s 00:07.2" gave this: "00:07.2 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. UHCI USB (rev 16) (prog-if 00 [UHCI]) Subsystem: Unknown device 0925:1234 Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 9 I/O ports at d400 [size=32] Capabilities: [80] Power Management version 2" # "modprobe lp irq=9" produced this: "/lib/modules/2.4.18-k7/kernel/drivers/char/lp.o: invalid parameter parm_irq /lib/modules/2.4.18-k7/kernel/drivers/char/lp.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.18-k7/kernel/drivers/char/lp.o failed" and "#lpinfo -v" gave this: "lpinfo: Unable to connect to server: Connection refused". Similar warnings I got, when commands such as "#lpadmin -d printer" were typed. What does it mean? How to solve this problem?
