Been having problems getting a printer to work on an SME-5.1.2 server called valse. I'm running "Private server and gateway" option. Everything else seems to work fine.
Because files from clients reached the spooler but did not print I ran a test file as root on the server:
"cat filename|lpr -Pprinter"
Again the file is sent to the spooler but it does not print.
The printer status gives:

There doesn't appear to be an irq allocated to parport0.
dmesg gives:
--->
parport0:PC-style at 0x378(0x778) [SPP,ECP,ECPPS2]
parport0:detected irq 7; use procfs to enable interrupt driven operation
parport0_probe:failed

/proc/parport/0/hardware gives

Do you think my interpretation that this is an irq problem is correct?
I don't know what the "use procfs" means. What might be the problem and a possible solution?
