Hi, this is really weird. In all recent kernels (I've tried 2.1.88, 2.1.89 and 2.1.91), my printer (HP Desjket 500) is locked up, even with a simple `ls > /dev/lp0`. It's even that much locked up, that the printers' keypad doesn't react any more. It's not possible to put the printer off-line with its' keys !!. And in my syslog, there's the message, that the lp0 is offline. It is *definitely* not. Just to add: I've compiled * parallel printer support * parport support * pc-style parport into the kernel. Well, just for testing, I've compiled those three above as modules and took them out of the kernel, and volia, I was able to use my printer again. I don't have a clue, what is different, when I autoload those three modules (without any additional parameters (!)) compared to having them in the kernel. But well, I could live with that, I thougt. But then something really weird happend: I booted back into 2.1.89, where the printer support (and parport and pc-style parport) was in the kernel. And I was able to print !!!! Two bootings before, it just locked my kernel, and now it works !! The only thing, I've changed, is, that I didn't run the kernel daemon. But that must make no difference, since in the 2.1.89 two boots before, there were no modules autoloaded. Anyone got a clue, what's going on here?
