 Goofy Printing Problem So I was attempting to install cups and foomatic going by the guide on gentoo.org...I followed it to the letter. But when I get to "modprobe parport", it insists it can't find any such module (same goes for parport_pc). "insmod parport" can't find a thing either. Anyone have an idea what my problem might be ? I do have parallel port support and parallel printer support compiled into my kernel. -- =-=-=-==-=-=-==-=-=-==-=-=-==-=-=-==-=-=-==-=-=-==-=-==-=-= Pink Floyd on Video - http://pfov.frostwarning.com/ To e-mail me, nevermind the BOLLOCKS | Yar.

If they are already compiled into the kernel, you don't have and need the modules. If you want to change some options (e.g. the port or IRQ number), you have to use a lilo/grub command line like "parport=0x378,7" and reboot. Regards... Michael |

In any case, /dev/lp0 is nowhere to be seen regardless. -- =-=-=-==-=-=-==-=-=-==-=-=-==-=-=-==-=-=-==-=-=-==-=-==-=-= Pink Floyd on Video - http://pfov.frostwarning.com/ To e-mail me, nevermind the BOLLOCKS | Yar.

I have /dev/lp0 as a symbolic link to /dev/printers/0. Do you have /dev/printers ? Does dmesg say anything about parport? (dmesg | grep parport) If not, then it sounds like you don't really have parallel printer support compiled in. Dumb question: you really are running the kernel you compiled, right? Not an older kernel by mistake? |

Dumb question: you really are running the >kernel you compiled, right? Not an older kernel by mistake? As far as I know I am. I've run make menuconfig and recompiled twice (following the installation guide instructions). I tried getting rid of cups and foomatic and followed the directions at http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=22291 last night....the http interface doesn't give me the parallel port as an option, leading me to believe it's not actually compiled in either.
