>From the Documentation/Changes file in the 2.2.x kernel tree: Parallel Ports ============== As of 2.1.33, parallel port support can now by handled by the parport driver. Be aware that with Plug-and-Play support turned on, your parallel port may no longer be where you expect it; for example, LPT1 (under DOS) was sometimes /dev/lp1 in Linux, but will probably be /dev/lp0 with the new Plug-and-Play driver. If printing breaks with the new driver, try checking your lpd configuration. A good source of more information is the Documentation/parport.txt file included with the kernel. -- Brian --------------------------------------------------------------------- Mechanical Engineering [EMAIL PROTECTED] Purdue University http://www.ecn.purdue.edu/~servis ---------------------------------------------------------------------
