I assume you have only one printer port. LEAVE OUT the lp=0xnnn and let the kernel probe for the printer. Then look at what the kernel spits out, it will tell you where the printer is. Try "dmesg | less" to see it. ===== Amateur Radio, when all else fails! http://www.qsl.net/wa2mze Debian Gnu Linux, Live Free or ..... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
