I'using Linux 2.2.7 (SuSE) for several weeks without problems.
I had to recompile the kernel because I changed the processor, and from
then, I can't print a single page.
Everything seems OK; print requests are queued, but "lpq" shows the printer
status as beinf "off-line"

What can I do, to get it "on-line".
Nothing symptomatic appears during boot...

Thanks for your help :)

Have you tried killing and restarting the printer deamon? That sometimes does
the trick.

Good luck.

Do the boot messages indicate that the kernel has found your
parallel port? The default compile options don't usually include
printer support, so I suspect you may need to recompile your kernel,
this time being certain to include printer support.
