Are you sure your parallel port is being recognized properly? Did
you do the RH upgrade? I just had a disastrous "upgrade" from 6.1
to 6.2, and I had to re-install 6.2 from scratch.
Verify your lp modules are loading correctly (try a different
device if you have to). You may need to specify the device
parameters (IRQ, I/O port) in your conf.modules file. You can also
build your kernel with lp support, but if you want to use some
other device like a zip drive, then you must compile both as
modules. Try and cat a text file directly to the port, then a
simple script, etc. If it worked before, it ought to work again...
