back again, hat in hand.  it's nice to know folk who KNOW.
i have two problems: my print queue doesn't work, nor does my
ethernet connection.

1. i used printtool to set up a local print queue via parallel
port to hp 882c printer, named it IJ-880, directory
/var/spool/lpd/ij-880, filter cdj880.  spool directory was apparently
created ok.  when i try to print, i get the following:

	Status Information:
	sending job 'moylan@deneb+402' to IJ-880@localhost
	connecting to 'localhost', attempt 1
	connected to 'localhost'
	requesting printer IJ-880@localhost
	job 'moylan@deneb+402' transfer to IJ-880@localhost failed
	error 'NONZERO RFC1179 ERROR CODE FROM SERVER' with ack 'ACK_FAIL'
	sending str '^BIJ-880' to IJ-880@localhost
	error msg: 'spool queue for 'ij-880' does not exist on server
	            deneb.moylan.com'
	error msg: '   non-existent printer or you need to run 'checkpc -f''

i ran checkpc -f; no output, no change.

this same setup (except for the filter) worked fine under rh6.2.
tried the old print filter, same result.  and what's all this network
bs?  what's gone wrong?

2. i have 2 nic's in the desktop: noname isa card, and linksys 10/100
pci card.  the pci card is what i have been using to connect to the 
netgear rt314 router.  it came up without coaxing under rh6.2 as
eth0 (though the isa card wasn't noticed, but i didn't need it and
didn't worry).

under rh7.0, neither card is noticed.  trying:

	insmod 8390
	insmod ne io=0x300

brings up the isa card (dmesg shows it to be there), so i connected
it to port 1 of the cable router.  ifconfig shows eth0 up and
apparently ok.  but . . . it doesn't work.  no activity shows on
the router for channel 1.  pinging the router or either of the
two laptops connected to ports 2 and 3 gives:

	Destination Host Unreachable.

so i tried the pci card.

	insmod ne2k-pci

gives: 

	/lib/modules/2.2.16-22/net/ne2k-pci.o: init_module:
	      Device or resource busy
	Using /lib/modules/2.2.16-22/net/ne2k-pci.o
	Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters,
	      including invalid IO or IRQ parameters

	dmesg

gives: 

	ne2k-pci.c:vpre-1.00e 5/27/99 D. Becker/P. Gortmaker
	           http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/ne2k-pci.html
	ne2k-pci.c: No useable cards found, driver NOT installed.

is there some other module i should be trying?  options?

tia.
