Printers

[Kara Pritchard <kara@lanscape.net>]

Okay guys.. It's my turn to receive help from the vast knowledge base out
here..

Printing.

I'm trying to set up an HP Deskjet 855C on RH 5.2 running 2.2.5 kernel.  

The X printer configurator isn't detecting /dev/lp0.  All the
CONFIG_PARPORT stuff is compiled in the kernel, as is the CONFIG PRINTER.
When attempting to test the printer, I get messages like:

Apr 27 14:54:57 pritchard modprobe: can't locate module parport_lowlevel
Apr 27 14:54:57 pritchard kernel: lp: driver loaded but no devices found

in /var/log/messages.  But in the window I get: Error printing test page,
reason: lpr: connect: connection refused jobs queued, but cannot start
daemon.  However..

root       284  0.0  0.2   784   336  ?  S    14:54   0:00 lpd
root       288  0.0  0.3   808   392  ?  S    14:54   0:00 lpd  

lpd is already loaded.

I'm terribly confused.  What silly little thing am I missing here?

I'm not leaving until this works.. So hopefully I'll get to see you guys
at the meeting ;)
