SuSE Linux: Versions since 6.0
Kernel: Versions since 2.2
After updating to the 2.2.xx kernel printing no longer works...
With the 2.2.x kernel the "parport
" subsystem appeared and the
numbering of the interfaces has changed.
kernmod
" package; Unfortunately kernels that
have been recompiled can not be covered by our installation support!
/etc/printcap
change the device /dev/lp1
to /dev/lp0
.
parport
" subsystem can be loaded;
see ke_parport.html; You may need to modify
/etc/conf.modules
. Pay attention to the following entries:
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc options parport_pc io=0x378 irq=none,noneObviously, you may need to modify the above example if your parallel port has a different
io
address (for example io=0x278
).
lp
" module to verify that it works:
modprobe lpIf it was sucessful, the command
lsmod
should produce an output
similar to:
lp 5008 0 (unused) parport_pc 4960 1 (autoclean) parport 6428 1 [parport_pc lp]
lpr
" command. If it still is not working
have a look in /var/log/messages
for error messages related to printing.
If you are still having general printing priblems, please have a look at the printer checklist.
