I've just installed RedHat 6.1 on my Compaq 5360 system, but there's something wrong. Though I followed the installation directions, when I try to install my Epson Stylus Color 440 printer, the machine claims it cannot find any parallel ports (dev/lp0, dev/lp1, etc.)

I really do not wish to have to recompile the kernel as I am just beginning to learn the ins and a.outs of Linux. Nevertheless, does anyone have any suggestions?
