Thanks Hal! As I mentioned in another mail your suggestion of "cat file > /dev/lp0" works in root when there is no Internet connection. However, I cannot print when disconnected using "cat file | lpr". Giving lpq it will just sit doing nothing when not connected. I installed kernel 2.6.13 and the above is the same. However, there is a provision for parallel port for local printer in gnome-cups-manager unlike in kernel 2.4.14.4 there is that provision only for Network printer. Beside the point with 2.6.13 I have no sound since module snd_via82xx can not be found. Beats me.
