That means that the parallel port driver could not find a parallel
port in your machine. I'm not sure how that could happen. Is this
a laptop machine, by any chance?
If not, do you have just the printer connected to the port, or is
there something else?
Is this one of those printers that has no power switch, and "magically"
turns on when the computer talks to it?
What happens if you unplug the printer from the computer and reboot?
Do you still get that message?
Do you by any chance know what I/O address your parallel port is
at?
>I have tried repeatedly to print using lpr to no avail.
No printing program will be able to print until that message goes
away, and I'll probably need more information to help make it go away.
If you can answer the questions above, I'll try to help.
