This stuff has changed under kernel 2.2, and it's a bit confusing. You not only need parport.o, but parport_pc.o and lp.o (if you're using modules). If you're doing 'make menuconfig' to configure the kernel, do: General setup => Parallel port support & PC-Style Hardware Character devices => Parallel printer support Basically, I guess the kernel has to know there *is* a parallel port, it's a PC-style one, and there's a printer on it. > e.g. from dmesg > > parport0: PC-style at 0x378 [SPP] > > But no luck on actually communicating through it with the printer.
