Re: line printer [was] dead




Hi,
Thanks to everyone who tried to help me. The answer however is in:

http://www.redhat.com/support/docs/gotchas/6.1/gotchas-6.1-6.html

It is:

..Alternatively, you can add 

alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc 

to your 

/etc/conf.modules file. 

Then run /sbin/rmmod lp, and start printtool. 

..
