SuSE Linux: Version 5.3
Kernel: Version 2.0.35
Printing under a running kernel 2.0.35 is very slow: often delays of several seconds occur after a few lines of printing only.
The kernel 2.0.35 contains a bug in the parallel port driver.
There are several ways: please try the ensuing possibilities in this very order:
lx_suse
" contained in
S.u.S.E. Linux 5.3. Then printing should work as usual with most
printer models and interfaces.
Try to re-insert the "lp
" module from the 2.0.34 kernel.
A pre-compiled version can be downloaded
here: lp.o.gz (ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/SuSE-Linux/suse_update/kernel/lp.o.gz).
Note: Please use wget
to download this file. If you
absolutely insist on doing it with Netscape, please take into account
the information in article ke_netscape-ftp.html.
If you want to try this module, you must first ensure that
the actual "lp
" module is not loaded. Check this
as "root
" by means of the lsmod
command and unload the module in case of need:
rmmod lp
Now you can unpack and load the downloaded module. Note: please
don't forget the path "./
" preceding the
filename:
gunzip lp.o.gz insmod ./lp.o
Now, try to print something. If all works well, copy the downloaded
lp
module into the standard modules directory:
cp lp.o /lib/modules/2.0.35/misc/lp.o
normal
, ECP
, EPP
.
tunelp
offers the options "-t
" and
"-w
"; try to modify the timings.
See the manpage of tunelp
for details.
