It is on the mother board Buy #plate25F16 from Startech.com and hook it up to the IDC25 pin header connection and mount it on the back of your computer

Check to see if you have the lp module by running "locate lp.o" If you have the module, it should return something like: /lib/modules/2.2.19-idepci/kernel/drivers/char/lp.o If you find the lp module, run modprobe again but this time include the complete pathname to the module. > > I looked at Debian packages on debian.org, and found lprng, which I have > already on the system.

Re: missing parallel port
Gordon, Thanks for the reply. I tried the modprobe - can't find such a module. I added CONFIG_PRINTER=y to config-2.2.19-idepci and rebooted. Nothing changed. I looked at Debian packages on debian.org, and found lprng, which I have already on the system. It is telling me that /dev/lp0, etc isn't found. The file is there, (6, 0 ). Where is the driver for that? When I initially installed Debian on the machine, I wasn't expecting to attach a local printer so I probably answered NO to some question. Do I have to re-compile the kernel??? I couldn't find anything about an lp package in the installation manual. I've tried modconf and added both parport and parport_pc. With this config, lprngtool quits complaining about no /dev/lp0, but still nothing gets printed though it is getting into the Q. -- Sincerely, David Smead http://www.amplepower.com.

Re: Missing parallel port
I needed to add this to the kernel .config CONFIG_PARPORT_1284=y In make menuconfig just look for that 1284 thing. And yes, do turn your printer on before the computer boots.

You not only need parport.o, but parport_pc.o and lp.o (if you're using modules). If you're doing 'make menuconfig' to configure the kernel, do: General setup => Parallel port support & PC-Style Hardware Character devices => Parallel printer support Basically, I guess the kernel has to know there *is* a parallel port, it's a PC-style one, and there's a printer on it. > e.g. from dmesg > > parport0: PC-style at 0x378 [SPP] > > But no luck on actually communicating through it with the printer.
