Was able to print from RH5.1 on a ThinkPad 600 before the
upgrade. Machine is a dual-boot with Windows 95. Printing works fine from
Win95. Printing to an HP Deskjet 1600cm. Printers were setup using
printtool to lp0. When I tried priniting directly to port, the resulting
message was: "Unable to find devices on lp0, lp1, lp3". Using lpr
just sends the job to the queue. I've also added the following to the
/etc/conf.modules file:
alias /dev/printers lp # only for devfs?
alias /dev/lp* lp # only for devfs?
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc # missing in Red Hat 6.0-6.1
Below are outputs from dmesg and lsmod:
