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,
