Dennis It's definitely out-of-the-box, I don't understand compiling yet. The two printers I've tried are Epson Stylus 740 and IBM PPSII dot matrix. lsmod, among other things says: parport_pc 4948 0 (unused) parport 6756 0 (autoclean) [parport_pc lp} lp 5008 0 (autoclean) (unused) --- Dennis Soper <dsoper@clipper.net> wrote:

What printers are you using? Also, are you using the out-of-the- box kernel or one you compiled yourself? Finally, if you do "lsmod," do you see "parport" and "parport_pc" listed?

Is this before or after you do the 'insod lp'? When you want to load a module, it is usually better to use the modprobe command, rather than insmod, as this handles all the dependencies (other modules required for this one to work) for you. Could you be any more specific as to why it isn't working? (Do you get any error messages?) You could try sending the output of 'lpc status' to the list. You could also try printing after typing the command 'lpc up all'.
