[S.u.S.E. Linux] lp: Driver Configured but no interfaces found
How do I get my printer to work? It works just fine in Win98 on LPT1. Suse 5.1, Emacs config.,Canon BJC-620, /dev/lp1, Will I run into similar problems when I install my scanner?

How do I get my printer to work? isn't very specific :) Did you set up your printer in yast? If not, start yast, goto integrate hardware into system, choose printer and make the appropriate choices. Tim Shann wrote:

Sorry about the lack of info. Yes I did set it up in yast. I've gone back to yast and tried to reconfigure. I even tried lp0 & lp2. The printer I chose was actually Canon 600 & 4000. It was the closest I could find. I have been browsing through the file system and came across another printer related message several times. Something about it being "off-line". Sorry, I can't recall the whole message. I would just look for it now but I can't e-mail from linux yet. I'm sending this via Windows. I have three other distributions and had the exact same problem with each. No printer. No modem access. If / when I get the printer to work I'll have to work on the PPP stuff. I'll reboot to linux now and try to reconfig. the printer and get details of error messages. Tim ael Lankton wrote:

make sure lpd is running (if you're not sure, "dmesg > list", "vi list", and see if lpd is being started at boot. If lpd is not being started read through /etc/rc.config and see that lpd=yes where it is declared. You must have lpd and either plp or lprold installed, or all this is moot. good luck Tim Shann wrote:

I just looked at my dmesg output and lpd wasn't shown. lpd would be one of the last lines of output before you get a login prompt after booting sorry about that. Michael Lankton wrote:

Apologies for the double post. First was bounced back as undelivered. Tim Michael, I checked everything you mentioned: -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
And still no output when you "lpr whatever.txt" ? <BR>Hmm now I'm stumped. <BR>Perhaps the driver you are using is incorrect for your printer. What printer and which driver?

Could it be, there is a ZIP drive (iomega, ppa-interface) connected to your parallel port and this may be the cause of 'no lp interfaces found' ? Unluckily the precompiled kernel delivered with SUSE 5.1 includes ppa support directly, thereby - I guess - blocking the printer. So I probably have to recompile the kernel and include both lpd and ppa as modules to be able to use parallel port ZIP drive and parallel printing ? The respective loading and removal of these modules seems a bit awkward to me. *** Why can WIN95 run parallel port ZIP drive and parallel printer simultaneously on lp1, whereas LINUX cannot (according to the 5.1 manual) ?

The solution is to buy a cheap ISA LPT card, plug it in and connect the Zip to the Motherboard LPT and the printer to the LPT card. With the card you will get two LPT ports (LPT 1 & 2). Make sure to adjust the IRQ on your LPT card. It always uses the standard IRQ when you buy it and will conflict with the LPT on your computer.

There is only one single kernel (scsi17) that has the ppa driver compiled in.

Hello all, I have a question regarding Internet server load balancing. The client wants to build a redundant Linux Internet solution. It is an auction site that is currently running on one server. They want to build a second one. They do not want the new machine sitting around waiting for the primary to fail (which eliminates mirroring). They want some sort of load balancing when both machines are up. They want the ability to take a machine off-line for maintenance without affecting on-line users. If one of the machines would experience a failure, they want the other one to automatically absorb the additional load. Any ideas on how this can be implemented? Thanks in advance.

You might want to take a look in the Linux High Availability HOWTO: <A HREF="http://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/ALPHA/linux-ha/High-Availability-HOWTO.html"><A HREF="http://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/ALPHA/linux-ha/High-Availability-HOWTO.html</A">http://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/ALPHA/linux-ha/High-Availability-HOWTO.html</A</A>> It describes some basic concepts that should be considered.
