Title: Activate parallel port?
Post by: Zweitaktmotor on March 31, 2011, 10:36:32 AM

I installed CUPS1311 and it successfully communicates with a network printer I have. How do I make it work with a parallel printer?

I read something in another recent thread about mod polling and enabling parallel_pc, but have no idea how to do it.


Many thanks!

Try this...

Code: [Select]

sudo modprobe lp

Confirm it is loaded with this...

Code: [Select]

lsmod | grep lp
