Gordon, Thanks for the reply. I tried the modprobe - can't find such a module. I added CONFIG_PRINTER=y to config-2.2.19-idepci and rebooted. Nothing changed.
I looked at Debian packages on debian.org, and found lprng, which I have already on the system. It is telling me that /dev/lp0, etc isn't found. The file is there, (6, 0 ). Where is the driver for that? When I initially installed Debian on the machine, I wasn't expecting to attach a local printer so I probably answered NO to some question. Do I have to re-compile the kernel??? I couldn't find anything about an lp package in the installation manual. I've tried modconf and added both parport and parport_pc. With this config, lprngtool quits complaining about no /dev/lp0, but still nothing gets printed though it is getting into the Q. -- Sincerely, David Smead http://www.amplepower.com.
