It's the same model as our old printer, so i= t should work, right? I followed the Gentoo Printing Guide up to the point where one sets up the printer in the CUPS administrative interface. It does not offer me a parallel port choice for the device. My kernel is built with parallel port support and I have modprobed parport and parport_pc: catherine ~ # lsmod | grep parport parport_pc 32868 0 parport 26696 1 parport_pc And dmseg is aware of the printer: catherine ~ # dmesg | grep -i print parport0: Printer, EPSON Stylus C88 But on the CUPS interface, I can choose from AppSocket/HPJetDirect Backend Error Handler HP Printer (HPLIP) Internet Printing Protocol (http) Internet Printing Protocol (ipp) LPD/LPR Host or Printer SCSI Printer Serial Port #1 but no parallel port. It used to be on there. How can I get it back, or is parallel port called something else now? --=20 gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
