I'm having trouble getting my printer to work. (By the way, I haven't gotten around to updating it, so I have a 2.4.26 kernel.) When I try to add the printer with a parallel port via linux-config, I get the message "add-printer failed: client-error-not-possible". I googled this, and according to someone, that means the parallel port drivers aren't properly loaded, so I added the following to my /etc/modules.conf:
Code:
alias /dev/printers lp
alias /dev/lp* lp
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
This hasn't helped, though. Is there any way to get my printer to work without updating to the 2.6 kernel?
