Re: printing problem
Yes,
I enabled support for PC-styled hardware when I recompiled the kernel
with modular support for the parallel port. I successfully used modconf
to insert the modules
parport
and
parport_pc
If I do an lsmod I get
debian:~# lsmod
Module Size Used by
parport_pc 5528 0 (unused)
parport 6612 0 [parport_pc]
tulip 23396 1
sb 31924 0 (unused)
uart401 5628 0 [sb]
sound 55048 0 [sb uart401]
soundcore 2196 6 [sb sound]
I check /var/log/messages and I see
Sep 10 01:57:57 debian kernel: parport0: PC-style at 0x378 [SPP]
but I see no lp0 as I see on my Slackware box in its /var/log/messages
What am I missing here?
