if you can't modprobe usblp it wont work ..
what is the error message when you try to modprobe ? what tells dmesg ?
to recompile your kernel, emerge the apropriated sources, create the /usr/src/linux link (make it point to your new kernel sources), go to /usr/src/linux, type make menuconfig, configure your kernel, and compile

maybe ..
what tells | Code: | | grep USB_PRINTER /usr/src/linux/.config |
and | Code: | | zgrep USB_PRINTER /proc/config.gz |
recompiling your kernel manualy is IMHO better

Its that possible to set it without recompile kernel? coz i scared all the settings is gone after i recompile kernel...
if no choice i then recompile, but i wish to make sure something
i type this
it shows configuration with so M and some *
my question, is this settings are my current kernel settings? or the settings are default setting of the new kernel?
any precausion i have to do before recompile kernel? and what should do after finished compile kernel? what show be set after recompile kernel?
thanks for helpping.

if you don't want to recompile your kernel, just se the option as module, and instead of typing make just type make modules and then make modules_install
after that you should be able to modprobe the usblp module (maybe will you need to run depmod and modules-update before)
but be careful, if you set something as built-in, recompiling the whole kernel is needed ...
your current kernel settings are in /proc/config.gz
so, before recompiling, do : | Code: | | zcat /proc/config.gz >/usr/src/linux/.config |

Done! Thank you.
This is what i do.
copy the kernel module cofig to /usr/scr/linux
| Code: | | zcat /proc/config.gz >/usr/src/linux/.config |
edit the .config file
| Code: |
cd /usr/scr/linux
nano .config
|
change the line
| Code: | | # CONFIG_USB_PRINTER is not set |
to
| Code: | | CONFIG_USB_PRINTER=m |
then install all the modules
| Code: |
make modules
make modules_install |
modprobe usbcore
modprobe usblp
then i try print at gdm its done! because i had did the cups setting.
