Hi,

please check if you have Parallel Port Printing Support enabled in the
Kernel. If as a module, its called "lp". You find the kernel option oder
"Device Drivers" -> "Character Devices" -> "Parallel Printing Support".

hope to help
Tom

| parport                26696  1 parport_pc
|
| And dmseg is aware of the printer:
|
| catherine ~ # dmesg | grep -i print
| parport0: Printer, EPSON Stylus C88
|
| But on the CUPS interface, I can choose from
|
| AppSocket/HPJetDirect
| Backend Error Handler
| HP Printer (HPLIP)
| Internet Printing Protocol (http)
| Internet Printing Protocol (ipp)
| LPD/LPR Host or Printer
| SCSI Printer
| Serial Port #1
|
| but no parallel port.  It used to be on there.  How can I get it back, or
| is parallel port called something else now?
