-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi,
please check if you have Parallel Port Printing Support enabled in the Kernel. If as a module, its called "lp". You find the kernel option oder "Device Drivers" -> "Character Devices" -> "Parallel Printing Support". hope to help Tom Michael Sullivan wrote: | We got a new printer today.
