These are the defaults; so that's not proof that the options are being processed. Those are the messages that my system issues too, and I'm not using an options statement for parport_pc. You might try changing the options to non-default values, just for grins, and see what happens. > Then I edited the `install.sh' script as you suggested.

There may be other scripts besides install.sh that contain references to /etc/modprobe.conf. For example, there may be a script in /etc/init.d. There may also be a reference to /etc/modprobe.conf in compiled code than you cannot see. > > Now I wish to uninstall all and use the debianized packages at: > > http://www.bchemnet.com/suldr/ > > Are they the same that you use?

I don't have or use that model of printer; so I don't know. So far, all the printers I have attempted to use with Debian are old enough that there are Debianized drivers built into CUPS/foomatic that work just fine. As for checking the toner level, most printers I have used have a "toner low" light on the printer itself which warns me that the toner is about to run out, and that has always been adequate enough for my purposes. I can't speak for the drivers to which you are referring, but in general I would recommend using a driver package that has been customized for the Debian environment. -- .''`.
