My printer is on my USB port now. It used to be on parport tho. Here is my kernel config, shortened version: [EMAIL PROTECTED] / # cat /usr/src/linux/.config | grep PARPORT CONFIG_PARPORT=y CONFIG_PARPORT_PC=y CONFIG_PARPORT_SERIAL=y # CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_FIFO is not set # CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_SUPERIO is not set # CONFIG_PARPORT_GSC is not set # CONFIG_PARPORT_AX88796 is not set CONFIG_PARPORT_1284=y # CONFIG_I2C_PARPORT is not set # CONFIG_I2C_PARPORT_LIGHT is not set [EMAIL PROTECTED] / # Looks like you have the same two I have. Mine did used to work anyway. Not real sure on that one. You check your USE flags for the HP package? Here is mine: [EMAIL PROTECTED] / # emerge -pv hplip These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild R ] net-print/hplip-2.7.10 USE="X ppds -doc -fax -minimal -parport -scanner -snmp" 14,104 kB Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 14,104 kB [EMAIL PROTECTED] / # Note the parport option? Mine is disabled, by default I guess. You can add it to the package.use file if yours is disabled too. Dale :-) :-) -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
