Dear Joe, I do not think using Alsa will make the difference either. I changed the PNP stuff but nothing made a difference so far.I believe that I can change the IRQ for the printer through CMOS however according to all the files IRQ 7 has been used only by my printer so I am wondering if it is a dma conflict instead as you suggested? How would I check the DMA situation and how would I change it? From what I can tell there does not seem to be a DMA conflict either but I probably would not know how to tell if there was. Thanks very much for your help and suggestions. By the way, do you know how I would put my printer into /etc/modules so that it could load? I know that the devfs is different and I am not sure how to correctly edit the /etc/modules file for everything. Sincerely, Marcia
