Did you have a look at the machine's specifications? If so,
you'd've noticed that (a) I don't have disk space for modules, and
(b) the kernel only has the absolute essentials compiled in, so
any modules would be permanently loaded anyway...

I tried "ls / > /dev/lp0" which I consider to be the equivalent to
that, and it failed to print. I would therefore consider that the
lp driver is still suspect, as is my configuration, and I have no
idea which is the real culprit...
Best wishes from Riley.
