Subject: [alug] Lost parallel ports? and DOJ judgement
Hi John,
How do I find out if parellel port support has been compiled as a module?
There should be a file called 'lp.o' in /lib/modules/<kernel-version>/misc. Try typing 'modprobe lp' as root, and with a bit of luck the kernel will load the module for you.
If there is an lp.o, and the kernel refuses to load it, the there must be some parameters you're not giving it, although my kernel seems to be loading the module of it's own accord when required. If the kernel will load it but it still won't print, then triple check that pc style hardware is enabled.
If there isn't an lp.o, then it's *definately* recompile time I'm afraid :-/
Anyway - sleep deprevation, HTH,
Paul
