Here are answers to some of the questions that helpful people have posed.
About two hours ago, I installed Debian anew. It was during this
installation that I added the modules parport, etc. . The message at the
time of installation was "installation successful".
I have successfully installed

Following your suggestions, I have installed the parport and lp modules and
changed the BIOS to make the parallel port bidirectional. Windows
recognized the printer port change. Debian still will not print. When using
echo to tell it to print, it says "no such device" to both /lp0 and /lp1.
As f
In response to a suggestion, I installed the parport and parport_pc
modules. After that I was able to install the lp module.
Unfortunately, after going through this whole new installation of Debian,
the result was the same. The printer does not appear in dmesg and the echo

You mentioned early that you reset the BIOS back to default settings...
You've checked that the parallel port is enabled... if its a newer computer...

I would like to make the following observation in response to some of the
suggestions that I have read. In response to my persistence, my ISP
administrator, who is not interested in linux, set up Redhat linux on his
computer, doing nothing but a straightforward installation with none of the

Sounds like a configuration problem with the dialer. pppd should

More information.
I have tried minicom, kppp, gnome -ppp, wvdial, and pppconfig. They all
dial and get connected to my ISP. None get me on to the internet.
As for my printer problem, I think that the facts that the printer is
absent from dmesg and the "echo" test failed, shows that higher pro

What have you tried? Use pppconfig to configure your ISP once your
modem works.

In answer to some questions.
My ISP connection is dialup.
When I try to install the lp module in the debian install process, I get
the message "installation failed". I think that I succeeded at one time
afterward using apt-get. It still didn't work.I tried dmesg and no printer
was shown.
Testin
Do you have the necessary modules loaded to use a printer? Do you have an
entry for it in /etc/printcap?
How is your networking setup? Is it cable? DSL? dialup? And how is it
configured?
You need to provide details in order for people to help.
