Hello Everyone.

When I try to configure my local printer using kups, it says:

"No ports detected on this computer!"

I think I have something wrong with my kernel compile options. Any know what compile options I should have so that my parallel port printer will be found? It's on /dev/lp0 (it should be atleast). I've had this printer working in Debian before (I'm using Debian now), and it worked fine in Mandrake 8.0 last week.

Thanks for the help in advance.

This works for me:

CONFIG_PARPORT=m
CONFIG_PARPORT_PC=m
CONFIG_PRINTER=m
