I found that loading parport_pc automagicly loaded parport. Atleast when using modconfig and selecting parport_pc it also grabbed parport. I think we have a layered driver here, lp sits on top of parport_pc on top of parport. Or something like that. ===== Amateur Radio, when all else fails! http://www.qsl.net/wa2mze Debian Gnu Linux, Live Free or ..... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
