RE: [Hpoj-devel] newbie question

(That's annoying -- sourceforge's mailing lists don't add a Reply-To line to
the header.  Anyway...)

Hi, Erick.  I see from the lsmod output you sent that you have properly
loaded parport, parport_pc, and parport_probe.  What Linux distribution and
version are you running?  What peripheral are you using?  Make sure it's on
the list of supported devices at http://hpoj.sourceforge.net/suplist.shtml.
In particular, the LaserJet 3100 and 3150 aren't supported.  Next, make sure
it's connected and powered on before you insmod ieee12844pp.o.  (Again, I
will clarify this in the documentation next time.)  Let me know if you're
still having trouble, and we'll take it from there.

David
