when I try to load the module needed
modprobe lp
I get
| Code: | | FATAL: Error inserting lp (/lib/modules/2.6.9-gentoo-r13/kernel/drivers/char/lp.ko): Input/output error |
Do I need some combination of modules and built in drivers for this to work? |

This seems to be a bit over my head... 
Edit-
This
http://216.239.37.104/translate_c?hl=en&u=http://lists.debian.org/debian-user-spanish/1998/09/msg00034.html&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dlp:%2Bunable%2Bto%2Bget%2Bmajor%2B6%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26sa%3DG
seems interesting, I should go through all my drivers to see if I have anything complied in or modularized that would use lp0... |

artificio,
Do you use udev or devfs?
| Quote: | | lp: unable to get major 6 |
means that the entry in /dev/ could not be created for some reason.

artificio,
If you didn't make the move to udev, its devfs.
Try | Code: | | emerge module-init-tools |
this appeared to fix similar issues for me.
