Yes, I have lpd started it shows up at the end of the boot messages. I went back through the make menuconfig and I must have been mistaken on the parallel printer support. I am unable to find it anywhere in 2.2.2. There is a parallel port support ( CONFIG_PARPORT ) however compiling this in does not solve the problem. I am at a loss as to where the printer suport is, it usually resides in Character devices. Has anyone experienced this before? Is my source tar ball missing something? Or does the new kernel handle printing differently and I'm just not seeing where it is? Thanks, Mike On Fri, 5 Mar 1999, Jerry Lynn Kreps wrote:

Did you start lpd?

Hello,

First I would like to thank everyone for the pointers on the kernel upgrade. I have 2.2.2 compiled and running and was able to get ppp up the first time out. I'm having printing problems now. I have parallel printer support compiled in ( CONFIG_PRINTER ) but when I issue lpr nothing happens. Am I missing something ?

TIA, Mike

I had a similar problem when I compiled the 2.0.36 kernel on SuSE6.0. I got a "char-major-6" not found. That was because I compiled the printer support directly into the kernel while the kernel expected the printer support to be compiled as a module /in fact in /etc/conf.modules there is a "char-major-6 lp" line). When I compiled the printer support as a module I could print again. This might apply to your case because I had a look at /lib/modules/2.2-pre7 and I found out this lines in the modules.dep: /lib/modules/2.2.0-pre7/misc/lp.o: /lib/modules/2.2.0-pre7/misc/parport.o Hope this help Maurizio - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archive at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
