Re: [expert] lp0 - no such device
:~Hi guys, :~ :~As suggested I included modprobe to my rc.local and it worked. I am now :~wondering how it worked without these lines, before. It should work withouth those lines. It just doesn't in M6.1. D.

:~Hi guys, :~ :~As suggested I included modprobe to my rc.local and it worked. I am now :~wondering how it worked without these lines, before. It should work withouth those lines. It just doesn't in M6.1. Is that a known bug? Did you check to see that lpd was running at startup with the program "ntsysv"? If you previously were starting lpd, then the module would have been loaded automatically. If, with Mandrake 6.1, you were NOT starting lpd at startup, then kerneld would not have forced the module to get loaded automatically. So--was lpd starting up at boot time? Check that ntsysv. ...just a theory... --Derek

Edit your /etc/rc.d/rc.local file and add the line modprobe lp at the end of the file... Should work Andreas Thanks Sridhar - Original Message - From: Sridhar G [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Expert Mandrake List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 11, 1999 11:59 PM Subject: [expert] lp0 - no such device Hi, Printer on my LM 6.0 stopped working couple o day's ago.

Re: [expert] lp0 - no such device
:~Well, I now found that my lp.o module is not being loaded at boot time. :~ :~How do I make lp to load at boot time? In short: Do not bother with anything "elegant". The printing support is rather broken in M6.1 . Choose one of the following and be happy: Either: Compile the kernel with lp included or: put "/sbin/modprobe lp" in your /etc/rc.d/rc.local Actually, I have these in my "rc.local": /sbin/modprobe parport /sbin/modprobe parport_pc /sbin/modprobe parport_probe /sbin/modprobe lp /sbin/modprobe ppa "ppa" is for my zip, "lp" for printer, other "parport*" are probably not needed. hope this may help you Denis - Mag.
