parport, parport_pc, parport_lowlevel modules loaded, now what?!
Hi. I installed gentoo linux with the 2.4.2 kernel from scratch using the manual (brrrt brrrrt!!). I can't get my printer to work though... i have installed cups, though the configuration of it is still on hold at a certain point because i can't find where to tell the printer my parallel port is.
I modularized parallel port and pc-style parallel port support in the kernel, recompiled it. now, i start parport, parport_pc, and parport_lowlevel(though this one doesnt show up, but when modprobe-ing it, i dont get any errors) as seen in lsmod:
Module Size Used by Tainted: PF
parport_pc 27816 0
parport 26016 0 [parport_pc]
and when i do dmesg, i get:
parport0: PC-style at 0x378 (0x778) [PCSPP,TRISTATE,EPP]
parport0: irq 7 detected
parport0: Printer, EPSON Stylus COLOR 640
but, when i look in /dev/ i cant seem to find anything that references the parallel port. (no lp0 or parport or anything that logically would be referring to the parallel port)...
what the hell am i doing wrong? because i have tried whatever info i can get my hands on with google....
