Hi, I'm using Fedora Core 3 on a Compaq Deskpro EN and a HP Laserjet 4000. With kernel 2.6.9-1.667 printing works fine. As I updated to 2.6.10-1.741_FC3, system-config-printer tells me that the printer is always disconnected. Updating to 2.6.10-1.760_FC3 still did not fix the problem. When i boot 2.6.9-1.667 again, printing works without problems again. So, atm I'm stuck on the old kernel version because I need the printer. dmesg with the newer kernel says: parport: PnPBIOS parport detected. parport0: PC-style at 0x378 (0x778), irq 7 [PCSPP,TRISTATE] parport0: faking semi-colon parport0: Printer, Hewlett-Packard HP LaserJet 4000 Series Trying to free free DMA3 pnp: Device 00:06 disabled. ieee1394: Initialized config rom entry `ip1394' ip_tables: (C) 2000-2002 Netfilter core team ip_tables: (C) 2000-2002 Netfilter core team e100: eth0: e100_watchdog: link up, 100Mbps, half-duplex i2c /dev entries driver pnp: Device 00:06 activated. parport: PnPBIOS parport detected. pnp: Device 00:06 disabled. lp: driver loaded but no devices found With the older kernel "lp" reports the printer correctly. Hope anyone can help me. Sven Borkert
