There were a few postings on -stable not too many weeks back, but I can't find them in the archives. Here is the related dmesg output: ppc0: at port 0x378-0x37f irq 7 on isa0 ppc0: Generic chipset (EPP/NIBBLE) in COMPATIBLE mode plip0: on ppbus0 lpt0: on ppbus0 lpt0: Interrupt-driven port ppi0: on ppbus0 I have changed nothing in my KERNEL file from the GENERIC setup; can anybody tell me what needs doing to get my old DeskJet-500 back to working? thanks much, gary -- Gary D.
