by default linux doesn't put the parallel port in interrupt mode, most parallel ports default to using IRQ 7. On my systems I force enable the parallel port so it uses the IRQ instead of "polling" mode, this has dramatically improved performance. it may be that the kernel can't find a way to talk to the port if it's in polling mode(I had this happen before). in 2.2.x kernel echo "7" >/proc/parport/0/irq in 2.4.x kernel modprobe parport_pc irq=7 io=0x378 those are the typical settings for a PC parallel port, you may be able to get by without specifying the IO address. after running you should see something like this in the kernel log: parport0: PC-style at 0x378, irq 7 [PCSPP,TRISTATE] be sure to remove the module before trying to re-load it. nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
