Re: cups -newbie



my kernel is 2.4.18 
i typed "modprobe lp irq=7", but saw no change.

flwg command "#cat output.prn >dev/usb/lp0" worked well.But "#lpr
print.ps",  

found that either or both usb-uhci and/or printer modules are
indispensable. without one or both of them it would produce a warning
"bash: /dev/usb/lp0: No such device". 

# lpinfo -v
lpinfo: Unable to connect to server: Connection refused

"lspci -v -s 00:07.2" gave this:
"00:07.2 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. UHCI USB (rev 16)
(prog-if 00 [UHCI])
        Subsystem: Unknown device 0925:1234
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 9
        I/O ports at d400 [size=32]
        Capabilities: [80] Power Management version 2" 

# "modprobe lp irq=9" produced this: 
"/lib/modules/2.4.18-k7/kernel/drivers/char/lp.o: invalid parameter
parm_irq
/lib/modules/2.4.18-k7/kernel/drivers/char/lp.o: insmod
/lib/modules/2.4.18-k7/kernel/drivers/char/lp.o failed"

and "#lpinfo -v" gave this:
"lpinfo: Unable to connect to server: Connection refused". Similar
warnings I got, when commands such as "#lpadmin -d printer" were typed. 
What does it mean? 

How to solve this problem?
