I have just installed potato on a machine which happily
ran slink before. During the install it refused to
load the lp module---
>Error installing lp module
>/lib/modules/2.2.17/misc/lp.o:init_module:Device or resource busy
>Hint: this error can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including
>invalid IO or IRQ parameters
>/lib/modules/2.2.17/misc/lp.o:insmod /lib/modules/2.2.17/misc/lp.o failed
>/lib/modules/2.2.17/misc/lp.o:insmod lp failed
---so I put in parport which someone mentioned some time ago.
At bootup, if the printer is on, parport detects the
printer correctly-- see attatched dmesg log-- but when
I try to cat testfile > /dev/lp0 or lp1, bash complains
that no such devices exist.
If someone can tell me where in the fine manual to look
for help, I should be most grateful.
TIA,
Doug.
