I have Red Hat 6.1 installed on my computer. While trying to add a
local printer from the Control Panel of the Gnome desktop, I get a
window with the following diagnostic:
Auto-detection found the following:
/dev/lp0: Not detected
/dev/lp1: Not detected
/dev/lp2: Not detected
You may disregard this message
if you are setting up a serial printer.
The auto-detection may not always work
on Sparc and Alpha architectures.
If no devices were detected, this could
indicate a hardware problem that
justifies further investigation.
Addressing these issues,
I am not setting up a serial printer, I'm using the parallel port.
I am using neither Sparc nor Alpha. I have a regular P-133 chip.
The printer works fine with Windows 95. I don't know how to pursue the
"... hardware problem that justifies further
investiagation."
The D-connector is snugly connected to the computer and the whasis?
connector likewise to the printer. I have tried the program with the
printer turned off and and tried it with the printer turned on, with no
change in the result. Does anybody have any ideas?
Thanks,
David Lewis
