|
|
when going into the web interface to cups I am unable to select parallel port for it does not show up as an option. I believe that my kernel is correct for I have prarllel support compiled into the kernel. What am I missing here?
Please help for I cannot print and it is making me mad!!! Thanks! _________________ Brent Weaver |

I do not want to load any modules, instead compile them into the kernel.

This worked fine on other kernels now that I think of it.
Thank you for the response! _________________ Brent Weaver |

thanks for the info. I did not in fact have that in my kernel, and now have it compiled into my kernel. I still do not have an option for parallel printing when I go into cups config. It is serial, USB and network protocols.
What am I missing.
BTW - I do not want to load any modules that I do not have to! _________________ Brent Weaver |

Try: (this is a lower case "L", not an "I") ls Test-Printer | lpr
If it prints "Test-Printer" on the printer, then your kernel is O.K. If not, check here. If I remember correctly, you also have to have PC Style hardware, but I'm not sure.
