I've comiled printing as modules. When u have compiled it as modules u should check the order. "parport_pc" has to be loaded _before_ "lp". Check your "/etc/modules". Or try "modprobe parport_pc" plus "modprobe lp". Check if u have enabled "PC-Style Parallel Port" in 2.1.101. With 2.0.x the first parallel Port is lp1, with 2.1.x lp0 (edit /etc/printcap) Last not least: Read /usr/src/linux/Documentation/Changes. Hope I could help u a little, cu florian attenberger -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
