Subject: RedHat 7.0 4.1 / lpd warning

I got the following warning when I compiled
kernel 2.4.0 and 2.4.1 :

Starting lpd: Warning - lp: cannot open lp device '/dev/lp0' - No such device
Warning - dj: cannot open lp device '/dev/lp0' - No such device

Why is that ? /dev/lp surely exists !

regards

John

It's telling you that the driver is not loaded or won't load. What
happens if you do 'modprobe parport_lowlevel'?
