Printer driver(?) problem
Hello for all,
I'm getting the following problem.
I run Debian GNU/Linux on a Ultra 30. Until now I have been using kernel
2.2.19 and I did not have problems.
Today I downloaded the Kernel 2.4.19, compiled it and... everthing are
running OK, but not the printer. I think I did something wrong in the
make xconfig process regarding the parport subject. Down I put the two
files of configuration I created from the two kernels (2.2.19 and
2.4.19) with other informations. Please, if someone could lost few
minutes to study them and answer to me what I must do in order to fix
this problem I would apreciate! As my machine takes 1 hour to compile
the Kernel I'd to know exactly what I need to do if is necessary
re-compiled the Kernel again! ;^)
Thank you in advance
Antonio.
