Printer in kernel 2.2.1

[Paulo Henrique Baptista de Oliveira]

        Hi Debian users,
        I'm setting a printer with the new kernel: 2.2.1. When I tried make
xconfig and search for parallel printer support in character devices section I
couldnt mark the option. It's in gray collor. How I can mark this option?
        Have a nice day,                Paulo Henrique
