Hi,
I am having great trouble getting the printer to work on my system. This
module loaded great earlier today and actually printed something. Then
it was autounloaded from the cron job that runs rmmod -a. Now, I get the
error in the Subject line every time it tries to load the module. I
don't know what or how it gets busy, but a reboot fixes the problem
normally. I don't want to have to reboot everytime I want to print
something new. Can you help me?
The parport_probe doesn't seem to find anything when this occurs, but it
does the first time around. The first time only, it spit these messages
out syslog:
Mar 12 13:24:39 Tiamat kernel: parport0: PC-style at 0x378 [SPP,PS2,EPP]
Mar 12 13:24:39 Tiamat kernel: parport0: no IEEE-1284 device present.
Mar 12 13:24:39 Tiamat kernel: lp0: using parport0 (polling).
Now it does this:
Mar 12 16:37:01 Tiamat kernel: lp: driver loaded but no devices found
The same appears in dmesg.
Thanks for any help you can provide,
Tom
