Thanks, Kastus! There was a similar tail of woe here: http://www.linux.ie/archive/msg03253.html Using the info in your URL I was able to get the modules to load, to a point. JLKreps:~ # insmod parport Using /lib/modules/2.2.18/misc/parport.o JLKreps:~ # insmod parport_pc io=0x278 irq=7 dma=3 Using /lib/modules/2.2.18/misc/parport_pc.o JLKreps:~ # insmod ppa Using /lib/modules/2.2.18/scsi/ppa.o JLKreps:~ # insmod lp Using /lib/modules/2.2.18/misc/lp.o JLKreps:~ # Just four days ago all I had to do in boot.local was to put two commands: modprob ppa modprob lp That's it. Nothing else aside from compiling the kernel according to the zip mini-howto... Never had to use parport or scsi_mod, which my config doesn't recognize anyway. jlk but, the printer won't respond... even though the lpd is running and the BSD lpq is taking sumissions.

Jerry, I think the reason of your problems is parport_pc module. Please have a look at http://www.nylug.org/mlist/archive-old/NYLUG-TALK/1999/msg00364.htm l
