 |
|
I'm trying to make my printer work now and I get the message | Quote: | | FATAL: Module lp not found |
when I type "modeprobe lp" (Coming from the printer setup docs).
And my kernel looks like so in my Device----> Parallel Port Support
| Quote: | │ │ <*> Parallel port support │ │
│ │ <*> PC-style hardware │ │
│ │ <M> Multi-IO cards (parallel and serial) │ │
│ │ [*] Use FIFO/DMA if available (EXPERIMENTAL) │ │
│ │ [*] SuperIO chipset support (EXPERIMENTAL) │ │
│ │ < > Support for PCMCIA management for PC-style ports │ │
│ │ [*] Support foreign hardware │ │
│ │ [*] IEEE 1284 transfer modes |

you have compiled the parallel support directly into the kernel and not as an module. if you want "modprobe lp" to work, then you need to add an <M> there where now an <*> is in your kernel configuration.
