 Not a problem.  That's just a backup of /etc/modules.conf before it was last edited. 
 Did you try to set the printer up as a DJ550c?

No matter what I try to set it as I get error message--usually about
"unable to open parallel
port device file: no such device"

[newbie] HP Deskjet 612C....configuring

2001-03-04 Thread Bill Barto

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.
