qeldroma Posted December 3, 2002 Report Share Posted December 3, 2002 I removed and added my printer several times, now i can add what i want, he tells my that he can't find module "parport_probe". As i looked at another machine, i could not find ANY module with that name. But there all works well (inclusive adding). I tried with firewall off, no difference. No internetsharing, just a single machine. Any Ideas??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted February 12, 2003 Report Share Posted February 12, 2003 did you get this fixed? I'm having the same issue right now, any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmpatrick Posted February 12, 2003 Report Share Posted February 12, 2003 A few things to look for/try that might give some helpful info: 1.run: $ cat /proc/devices and see if there is an "lp" listed; 2.run: # lsmod and see if there is a module "lp" listed; 3. Make sure your printer is turned on and try printing directly as root: # ls > /dev/lp0 This pipes the ls command directly to your printer and the directory listing should be printed out. This assumes your printer is lp0; if not, substitute the right number instead of 0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted February 12, 2003 Report Share Posted February 12, 2003 lp shows up in both 1 and 2, but part 3 yields no results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmpatrick Posted February 12, 2003 Report Share Posted February 12, 2003 Back at my Mandrake box at home and just ran lsmod. The only modules that I see that look like they would effect a parrellel port printer are: lp, parport, and parport_pc. Check to see if you have all three. I don't see any module parport_probe in mine. Also, did you get any error messages when you tried 3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aru Posted February 12, 2003 Report Share Posted February 12, 2003 you should install those modules in the following order: parport, parport_pc, lp as: ~$ for module in parport parport_pc lp; do insmod $module; done then do pmpatrick's third step (ls > /dev/lp0) I suggest you to remove any printer-related module, and then install those three to test your printer [to uninstall the modules you should proceed in the reverse order using rmmod] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted February 12, 2003 Report Share Posted February 12, 2003 As aru suggest to tyme..you'll have to rebuild the kernel. from make xconfig>Parallel port Suport>SuperIO chipset support (EXPERIMENTAL) CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_SUPERIO: Saying Y here enables some probes for Super-IO chipsets in order to find out things like base addresses, IRQ lines and DMA channels. It is safe to say N. The default is set to N (no) meaning you won't find it til you compile it in. google http://www.redhat.com/mailing-lists/axp-ke...t/msg00248.html http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_b...ug.cgi?id=26996 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
