Modem, sound card, printer won't work

Post by Joe O'Brie » Tue, 12 Mar 2002 01:23:36



Hi,

I've just installed Red Hat 7.2 and can't get my peripherals to work.
The modem gives a busy signal when I try to dial. It's on COM3 and I
have a PS/2 mouse.
When I print to EPson colour stylus 670 the program seems to send the
file but the printer doesn't respond.
There isn't a peep out of my SoundBlaster Live! and any of the config
utilities for these peripherals don't seem to work. Can anybody help ?

I'm using a dual-boot machine.

Cheers,

joe

Turning off "PlugNPlay OS" in your BIOS might help with the modem and SB.
Once it's off, drop to runlevel 3 and run "sndconfig" as root.

As for the printer, you haven't said if you're using LPR, CUPS, LPRNG or
what. As I use Mandrake I don't know what print systems are available on
RH 7.2.
