Hi,

Here's what happened when I tried to give the following command:
echo "hello world" > /dev/lp0

The system gave an error, "/dev/lp0: device not found"

Also the /var/log/messages file contained the following lines:
Nov 23 10:14:38 localhost modprobe: can't locate module 
parport_lowlevel
Nov 23 10:14:39 localhost modprobe: can't locate module 
parport_lowlevel
Nov 23 10:14:39 localhost kernel: lp: driver loaded but no devices 
found 

This seems to be the reason why my printer is not autodetected by 
printtool.

Please help!!!
