Sorry to be a pain, but can somebody explain the output of lsmod. I am trying to get better management of my SuSE 9.1 ( and bother others a little less :-)
A doc reference would do fine, if it explains what each line does. I understand lsmod (I think) . What I need is an explanation of each line so I know what is going on in my system. For example I don't know (I know - ignorant) when CUPS is running. I can guess the use/meaning of some things, but will leave the true interpretation to you guys.
My lsmod output follows. Regards, Colin

Didn't read this before responding, usblp seems to be missing, the lp module is for a parallel port printer, "modprobe usblp", check it's loaded and then try "rccups restart" and "lpstat -t". In some previous cases, I had to "insmod /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/usb/class/usblp.ko". Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
