Just a quick follow-up to correct a typo: the command to run after editing /etc/lilo.conf is /sbin/lilo -v (I believe I ran two words together, which might have been confusing) Also as to placement of the append line; it goes in the stanza that looks something like this one: image=/vmlinuz

Peter; Fo what it's worth - I use a parallel-port printer (LaserJet 6L) and $ lsmod | grep parport parport_pc 25608 1 (autoclean) parport23336 1 (autoclean) [parport_pc lp] So I think Ray is right and you are missing a module... On Sat, 2004-05-01 at 22:57, Ray
