I have to add an addendum here, to my previous question about the new config file setup for a simple printer. I was looking forward to seeing the probing come back to my dmesg, when I finally got it right, but seeing this: Feb 13 14:02:01 picnic /kernel: ppc0 at 0x378 irq 7 on isa Feb 13 14:02:01 picnic /kernel: ppc0: SMC FDC37C665GT chipset (EPP/PS2/NIBBLE) in COMPATIBLE mode Feb 13 14:02:01 picnic /kernel: ppb0: IEEE1284 device found /NIBBLE/ECP Feb 13 14:02:01 picnic /kernel: Probing for PnP devices on ppbus0: Feb 13 14:02:01 picnic /kernel: ppbus0: <HEWLETT-PACKARD DESKJET 690C> MLC,PCL,PML Feb 13 14:02:01 picnic /kernel: nlpt0: <generic printer> on ppbus 0 Feb 13 14:02:01 picnic /kernel: nlpt0: Interrupt-driven port I *never* expected to see the PNP functions actually pick up the name of my printer. I was economically bushwacked by the Windows corps into buying the 693C (the version with the Windows software floppies tacked on) so I was actually pleased that it ID'd the printer as the more generic 690C (sans the Windows extortia). Very nice. The mistake I'd made earlier was in not knowing that the config needed all 3 lines, not just some subset of 2 of them as I'd guessed.
