After configuring this printer several times I cannot get it to print.
When
I try to set it up in linuxconf it complains about a wrong printcap
file. If
I try to print a test page nothing happens. If I try to print from any
program
I get a message about "unable to open parallel port device file: no such
device"
Running tunelp lp0 -s says "no such file or directory"
PnP is disabled in BIOS(that got my cable modem running) and ECP
is enabled on the parallel port.
/etc/modules.conf
pre-install pcmcia_core /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia start
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
alias sound-slot-0 es1371
post-install snd-card-ens1371 modprobe snd-pcm-oss
alias block-major-11 scsi_hostadapter
pre-install plip modprobe parport_pc ; echo 7 > /proc/parport/0/irq
alias scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi
alias eth0 ne
alias usb-interface usb-uhci
options ne2k-pci io=1040 irq=11
options rtl8139 io=1040 irq=11
options ne io=1040 irq=11
I also have an /etc/modules.conf~ file(not sure if that should be
there)?
It contains all the above lines except for the last 4(stops at alias
eth0 ne).
As my Win98 has been down for a week with at least several days to go B4
needed parts arrive I would like to get Mandrake 7.2 install
completed and backed up so that it will be my primary OS. Wife will
have to learn to like it.
