I recently was looking through the comp.os.linux.hardware newsgroup and came across this individuals problem : I have found a strange problem and am not sure the best way to fix. After upgrading to Linux-Mandrake (RedHat 6.0) my Parallel Port Zip will only allow me to insmod ppa after I have tried to print to my printer on lp. If I try to insmod lp or insmod ppa I will get error messages : ./ppa.o : unresolved symbol paraport_release_Ra542614f ./ppa.o : unresolved symbol paraport_enumerate_Re26cc4d7 ********************* ********************* continues as the same for insmod lp. After trying to or printing to my printer all is fine *after* module lp is present from using the printer? I then can insmod ppa. I would like to do this on boot. Both are on the same port and cable. Not a Zip Plus. Any thoughts would be appreciated greatly, thank you I to am having the same problem, and if I remember right I to tried printing to the port before doing insmod ppa. Does anyone know how to get around this? Also what file can I add the insmod ppa line to have the ppa module automatically start upon bootup. Once I get that working I will work on re-compiling it into the kernel. TIA Shawn
