Hi, Paulo. net-pf-24 is the ieee12844.o module in version 0.7 and earlier of the HP OfficeJet Linux driver (hpoj), but it doesn't work very well on 2.4 kernels. Please upgrade to hpoj-0.8, available from http://hpoj.sourceforge.net, and I'm confident it will work much better for you. I hope this helps. David
