My printer won't work

[Joe <jtseng tux org>]

Like the subject says...  Granted I had alot of stuff plugged into the
parallel port so perhaps that didn't help the situation.  So I plugged my
printer directly into the parallel port and rebooted my machine.  Still
didn't work.  I ran printtool and it didn't pick up any working ports.  I
checked /proc/devices and there were no lp devices listed.

I do have an HP CDWriter 7200e PPA CDRW drive and I do load the pcd and pg
modules.  I doubt that is the cause of my troubles b/c I was able to get
the printer and CDRW working under RH6.

This is what I have:
RHL6.1
CDWriter 7200e firmware 3.01
Acer Aspire 1275 K6-166

Thanx for any useful help.
