Hi. I installed kernel-image-2.6.8-2-k7 on my Sarge box one or two weeks ago[0], and everything seemed fine. Until today I wanted to use the printer[1], and try as I might, I could only get garbage out. I couldn't even print via echo >/dev/lp0.
After fiddling around, purging&reinstalling cupsys and supporting packages, un-&loading lp, parport, parport_pc, and going through much paper, I remembered the kernel upgrade, rebooted into 2.4.27-2-k7, and now printing works again. Any hints on what hoops I have to jump through to get printing to cooperate again with 2.6.8-2-k7 very much appreciated? google and linuxprinting.org aren't much help in that regard (at least not that I could find). 0: for the sole reason of having /proc/sys/vm/swappiness 1: HP Laserjet 4L, cupsys 1.1.23-10, LJET4.PPD, lp0 cheers, &rw -- -- [...] ein gut konfigurierter Windows-Rechner, an dem niemand -- herumspielt, laeuft auch ueber mehrere Tage stabil. -- c't 14/2004, S. 147
