I am using a HP LaserJet 1100 printer with my Toshiba laptop. The relevant entry in /etc/sysconfig/hwconf is as follows: class: PRINTER bus: PARALLEL detached: 0 device: lp0 driver: unknown desc: "HP LaserJet 1100 Printer" pnpmodel: HP LaserJet 1100 pnpmfr: Hewlett-Packard pnpmodes: MLC,PCL,PJL pnpdesc: HP LaserJet 1100 Printer The problem is every time I reboot the machine kudzu says that the printer configuration has been removed. Whatever I choose to do (keep/remove/nothing) about the configuration it has the same effect: the printer does not work. I have found a dirty solution that works. What I have to do is to go to the bios setup and restore the default settings (even if I do not change anything). If I do that then kudzu recognizes the printer and asks for configuring it and everything works. Is there anything wrong with the parallel port configuration? What could be the reason for the problem and what would be a permanent solution? arko.
