Err... Gerry shouldn't it
be
alias parport_pc parport_lowlevel
we want to alias parport_pc
I could be wrong.
:)
Anyway how are you?

Aditya
| I had a similar problem when I installed PCQRH6.1.
|
| I added the following line to /etc/conf.modules
| alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
|
| then I Rebooted and ran printtool again. It worked for me.
