[SLUG] Printing problem


Hi all,
I run Debian Sarge using the lpd print system. Using the 2.4 kernel, it
works OK, but I have installed a 2.6.something and it fails. 

alant@windy:~$ lpq
Warning: lp queue is turned off
Warning: no daemon present
Rank   Owner      Job  Files                                 Total Size
1st    alant      3    (standard input)                      33806 bytes

If I run printtool, it tells me that it can't find a parallel port and
suggests that I install the parport module. But:

alant@windy:~$ sudo lsmod | grep parport
parport_pc             36900  0
parport                41800  1 parport_pc

Any help gratefully appreciated.

Cheers,
Alan
