Only Network Printer will show the setting for parallel port and Epson printers. In my Fedora4 box with kernel 2.6.14-1... selecting local printer will show parallel port and Epson printers and I can print w/o being connected. How could I correct to be able to print in slackware w/o being connected. Should I just copy the files of /lib/modules/kernel/drivers from Fedora over the slackware?
