..sigh.. I just reconfigured the kernel. Any specific settings that I may have missed in kernel configuration? But the confusing thing is that dmesg shows I have a printer.. PCI: Using IRQ router default [1022/7006] at 00:00.0 isapnp: Scanning for PnP cards... isapnp: No Plug & Play device found Linux NET4.0 for Linux 2.4 Based upon Swansea University Computer Society NET3.039 Starting kswapd v1.8 parport0: PC-style at 0x378 [PCSPP,TRISTATE] parport0: cpp_daisy: aa5500ff(18) parport0: assign_addrs: aa5500ff(18) parport0: Printer, EPSON Stylus COLOR 600 pty: 256 Unix98 ptys configured Serial driver version 5.05c (2001-07-08) with MANY_PORTS SHARE_IRQ SERIAL_PCI ISAPNP enabled What now, should I reconfigure the kernel again? I have the parport support built into the kernel, not made as a module. It has always worked before this way, but maybe there is a security script that has changed something. thanks for all your help dale
