G'Day !
I am not sure about this, I only use my parallel port for an old zip drive, and then not often enough ....
There are 4 parallel port modules located in the /lib/modules/2.2.18/misc directory (parport.o, parport_pc.o, parport_probe.o, and paride.o). Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe they are dependent on each other. I would try to load various combinations of the above modules, till you can figure out the correct combinations.
Hope this helps.
cheers,
Jim Parker

Anyone,
I recently got the newest Dell Latitude CPx laptop and I've installed it with stable 2.2.18. I've got about everything worked out but the sound and the parallel printer port. I need help with the parport. It won't work. Here's everything I can think of to help:
- parport and parport_pc support are compiled into the kernel as modules
- parallel printer is compiled as well with printer readback turned on.
- modprobe shows the following:
root-bash# modprobe -d parport
=============================================
Module parport
kname parport
objkey parport
names: parport
mode: NORMAL
Module matching parport: /lib/modules/2.2.18-3/misc/parport.o
=============================================
- syslog has this to say:
Jan 2 18:21:35 localhost kernel: parport0: PC-style at 0x378 (0x778) [SPP,ECP,ECPPS2]
Jan 2 18:21:35 localhost kernel: parport_probe: failed
Jan 2 18:21:35 localhost kernel: parport0: no IEEE-1284 device present.
Jan 2 18:21:35 localhost kernel: lp0: using parport0 (polling).
* I think that printer readback is the 1284 thing.
any help is appreciated...jc
