I have an KT7A mobo with 1 par. port and a HP deskjet attached. So I added a pci printer port. Now, nothing prints. Where should I start to look for the problem. Here is the output of lsmod:

I use CUPS w/HP open source driver. The HP worked before I added the printer card. When I try to print the window on my HP displays ' Printing', only it's never prints...

TIA

You added a separate PCI printer port card besides the normal motherboard printer port?

You might need to enable support in your kernel for the additional pci printer card.

i.e.

#
# Character devices
#
CONFIG_VT=y
CONFIG_ECC=m
CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_SERIAL=y
CONFIG_SERIAL_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_SERIAL_EXTENDED=y
CONFIG_SERIAL_MANY_PORTS=y
CONFIG_SERIAL_SHARE_IRQ=y
# CONFIG_SERIAL_DETECT_IRQ is not set
CONFIG_SERIAL_MULTIPORT=y
CONFIG_HUB6=y
CONFIG_SERIAL_NONSTANDARD=y
