Sidney,
Sorry this has been such a pain for you. I think, though, that you need to
systematize your attempts to get it working. Going back to square one was
a reasonable idea. But it would help to have the actual output of the
commands and logs you refer to, rather than just your memory of them. F

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

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.

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

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
