Thanks, Bob.
When I looked at modconf it indicated that the lp module was now
in the kernel--probably because I followed Sebastiaan and Mike's
suggestions. My next task will be to reboot and see if it stays
there.
Regards,
Doug.

For kernel modules to load at boot time check out /etc/modules in
man modules. And
Thanks Sebastiaan and Mike: insmod lp.o did the trick.
My next task will be to work out a way of getting this to happen
automatically on boot-up, probably in one of the rc scripts.

On my system, to get around this situation, I installed the paraport modules
during the initial install and used modconf later to add lp.

You need the lp module. Do lsmod to see if its loaded. If not try
modprobe. I am assumi
Hi,
perhaps lp.o is compiled in the kernel. In order to print you need (on an
ordinary i386): parport.o parport_pc.o lp.o
Try insmodding there three (in this order) and see what it does.
Hope it helps,

load the lp module---
