Description John Klehm 2009-01-12 06:53:13 UTC 
The Gentoo Printing Guide does not document a mandatory kernel option needed to use a parallel port printer and CUPS.

With kernel 2.6.27-gentoo-r7 the .config option PRINTER=y or PRINTER=m is needed.  It is found in menuconfig menu under "Device Drivers" -> "Character Devices" -> "Parallel printer support".

Reproducible: Always

Im just plain wrong on this, sorry for the noise.  This option is clearly already there.
