Temat: Re: [dyne:bolic] will not find the parallel port on dyne:bolic - Re: Debian 6.0 - and how d:b is progressing now
Hi Jaromil,

thank you

good idea http://bugs.dyne.org/signup_page.php

has the solution :) modprobe some kernel modules

on 2.6.18-ck1-dyne

lsmod

modprobe ppdev
modprobe parport
modprobe lp

dmesg | grep ppdev
dmesg | grep parport
dmesg | grep lp

cupsd

www 127.0.0.1:631

LTP #1, and Parallel Port #1 Canon/Epson, will now
show up in the device drop down menu of CUPS

if not add parallel:/dev/lp0 as device URI in CUPS

as you see RastaSoft is so very attractive to us
here struggling with opening the command line
editor

we will learn, irie rasta mon ;)

Subject: Re: [dyne:bolic] CUPS revisited - parallel
port support?
I had a similar problem with my laser printer - I
had to modprobe some kernel modules, the main one
being parport_pc. I'll get my dyne system running
as soon as I can and let you know exactly what they
were.
