You should have the sudo package installed.

$ rpm -qa | grep [s]udo
sudo-1.6.6-1

shows that it's installed. If it is not installed you will ALWAYS have to
use:

$ su
Password: <root password goes here>
# insmod printer

The lsmod is just to show you the installed modules. You need to do
"modprobe printer" after you become root.
