[linux-help] Re: New ?PS? Printer

[Benjamin F.Bunck <bbunck@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Have you had a working parport printer on this computer before?  I had similar
problems with the parport on my MS-5169 under RHL 6.1.  The solution was to
download the latest modutils RPM, which took care of everything.

hope it helps
