!WARNING!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My Parallel port is not working (not configured) in SuSE 9.0 Profressional which also means it's unable to find the printer. My printer is a HP Deskjet 5550 and is fully supported by SuSE 9.0 so i know it's the port being not configured properly. So far i've changed my /etc/modules.conf file from advice from another member. close but no cigar.. less errors still no communication with the printer. heres the lines that i changed in the /etc/modules.conf file.
/etc/modules.conf < snips..... also i didn't know what the protocol is/was
so i've tried.. 'frpw' 'lp0' and 'lpr'
########################################################################
# For parallel port devices, uncomment the following two lines and
# change "frpw" to the protocol type you use
########################################################################
post-install paride insmod lpr
pre-remove paride rmmod lpr
/~~/
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
options parport_pc io=0x378 irq=none
# If you have multiple parallel ports, specify them this way:
# options parport_pc io=0x378,0x278 irq=none,none
And after i get this working.. onwards to cry some more over the internal modem.. thats detected, similar probs..
