[aclug-L] RH 6.1 Printer problems

[Mike McNown <mdm@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am needing some information on printer port identification problems.  I 
recently installed RH 6.1 and it would not recognize the two parallel ports 
I have.  I asked RH support and finally received the answer that I needed 
to add 'alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc' to my /etc/conf.modules.  Well I 
did and it worked for the first port (lp0)!  Does anybody understand what 
this string is doing and how I can maybe modify it so it will recognize the 
second port?
