Hi, there: I did not get it work by using Parallel Port. However, it's now working by USB. Surprise?!
Here are steps I did: . kernel support for USB: CONFIG_USB=y CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS=y CONFIG_USB_UHCI=m CONFIG_USB_UHCI_ALT=m CONFIG_USB_PRINTER=y . alias usb uhci # in /etc/modutils/aliases update-modules . reboot using new compiled kernel, check out /proc/bus/usb and /dev/usb/lp0 . install cupsys-bsd cupsys-client cupsys-driver-gimpprint gimp1.2-print libgimpprint4.1.7 xpp kups cupsys . config: lpinfo -m # to get the available modules lpadmin # to add printer or Using kups or xpp to config it. (CUPS+Gimp-Print4.17 is my solution) Good luck! BTW, many thanks to Marc. Jack
