Thanks fellas, But I didn't actually have the printer port compiled as a
module.

I did find the problem though. The problem was that in 2.0.36 LPT1 was set
to /dev/lp1 , but under 2.1.132 it is set to /dev/lp0.

Hmmm, well the other possibility is that I may have done something wrong.
(you never know).

Cheers Mof.
