We got a new printer today. It's the same model as our old printer, so it |
2 |
should work, right? I followed the Gentoo Printing Guide up to the point |
3 |
where one sets up the printer in the CUPS administrative interface. It |
4 |
does not offer me a parallel port choice for the device. My kernel is |
5 |
built with parallel port support and I have modprobed parport and |
6 |
parport_pc: |
7 |
|
8 |
catherine ~ # lsmod | grep parport |
9 |
parport_pc 32868 0 |
10 |
parport 26696 1 parport_pc |
11 |
|
12 |
And dmseg is aware of the printer: |
13 |
|
14 |
catherine ~ # dmesg | grep -i print |
15 |
parport0: Printer, EPSON Stylus C88 |
16 |
|
17 |
But on the CUPS interface, I can choose from |
18 |
|
19 |
AppSocket/HPJetDirect |
20 |
Backend Error Handler |
21 |
HP Printer (HPLIP) |
22 |
Internet Printing Protocol (http) |
23 |
Internet Printing Protocol (ipp) |
24 |
LPD/LPR Host or Printer |
25 |
SCSI Printer |
26 |
Serial Port #1 |
27 |
|
28 |
but no parallel port. It used to be on there. How can I get it back, or |
29 |
is parallel port called something else now? |
