no lp devices found?!

[Susan G. Kleinmann]

Hi Eric --

Do you know how your printer was configured in the kernel?
If CONFIG_PRINTER=m, then (if your distribution is like Debian) you need 
to have the lp module listed in /etc/modules, since this file lists
the modules that are loaded at boot time.

If CONFIG_PRINTER=y, then I don't think I understand how the error
message you got is being generated.

Good luck,
