Which modules do I need to get my HP 895 deskjet working on my 486?
I found these modules in the misc directory:
 
parport
parport_pc
lp
 
do I need to use the 'insmod' command on all three of these? Any other modules?
 
Then would I issue something like:
 
cat somefile.txt > /dev/lp0
 
to send a file to the printer? Also would I only be able to print text files?
 
Thanks,
 
Jason Kooner.
