Both.
It is not there after a fresh reboot. Makes sense, it could not find a
parallel port card.
And it did show up when I reset things:
# modprobe -r lp
# modprobe -r parport_pc
# modprobe parport_pc
# modprobe lp
# echo 9710 9900 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/parport_pc/new_id
But still no lp0 showing in CUPS or Printer Admin (notice
I used the Linux term for it!)
Did anything show up in the journal when you ran that command?
