Kim, you were a part of the dialog. Did you > =>even try the fix? I've got the following in /etc/modprobe.conf <paste begins> alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc options parport_pc io=0x378 irq=7 dma=3 <paste ends> I tried it back when it was recommended, February. I tried it set up several different ways, etc. I cannot get Kudzu to tell me there is a printer on the parallel port. The printer on the machine I am presently working on is a Lexmark Optra S. This setup worked fine with older kernels, 2.6.9-1.747, for example. -- Kim Lux, Diesel Research Inc.
