Hi all I recently upgraded my kernel from 2.2.16 to 2.4.5, and now my printer ain't working. I tried adding a new printer with yast2, but it complained that it couldn't find any parallel devices (/dev/lp?). I've tried doing echo -en "test\f" > /dev/lp0 and nothing came out of the printer. I compiled parallel support as a module. and all the relevant modules seem to be loaded. lsmod gives Module Size Used by lp 4944 0 parport_pc 10512 1 parport 14464 1 [lp parport_pc] printer 5056 0 (unused) I also checked out the proc filesystem. /proc/sys/dev/parport/parport0/devices contains an lp directory, and the 'active' file just contains the word 'none'. Anyone got any other ideas I can try to get this working? Thanks Olly
