Hello-
I had my printer working just fine. But then I tried to install ome
modules, because I figured that would be the way to go since my Zip
drive wasn't working.
As you can see from my syslog, I had
Jul 23 13:49:10 siddhi kernel: imm: Version 2.03 (for Linux 2.0.0)

If the

is what has
Jul 23 14:58:37 siddhi kernel: happened.
Jul 23 14:58:37 siddhi kernel: scsi : 0 hosts.
Today, in my dmesg file I have:
parport0: PC-style at 0x378 (0x778) [SPP,EPP,ECP,ECPEPP,ECPPS2]
parport0: detected irq 7; use procfs to enable interrupt-driven
operation.
parport_probe: failed
parport0: no IEEE-1284 device present.
lp0: using parport0 (polling).
You can see there's no reference to imm, in the message above.
Whenever I try to print anything with lpr, I get no sign of life.
However, if I try to bypass lpr, (I'm using a free turboprint
driver for HP840c), like this:
siddhi:/usr/local# turboprint -Ptp0 output.prn testfile.txt
siddhi:/usr/local# cat ouput.prn > /dev/lp0
bash: /dev/lp0: Device or resource busy
Busy with what? How do I check that?
With lsmod|more, regarding the parport, I have that
parport_probe 3348 0 (autoclean)
parport 6836 1 (autoclean) [parport_pc lp paride
parport_probe]
Do you think this is what making the /dev/lp0 busy? Should I remove
these modules?
And what happened to the imm module?
Thank you for your help.
Best regards,
Henry
