I am having this issue on gentoo-sources 2.6.17-r4: http://dev.gentoo.org/~dsd/genpatches/issues-resolved.htm#2.6.9-lp
My HP 710C parallel port printer is not being detected. This used to work on my system before, but then I had the 2.6.16-r9 kernel and since them I had to re-install my Gentoo. I tried re-compiling the 2.6.16-r9 kernel using a backed up config, but it doesn't seem to detect my printer anymore. I tried a recent Ubuntu live cd 6.06 and it successfully detected my printer. current dmesg: ... Allocate Port Service[0000:00:0e.0:pcie03] lp: driver loaded but no devices found Real Time Clock Driver v1.12ac ACPI: Power Button (FF) [PWRF] ACPI: Power Button (CM) [PWRB] Serial: 8250/16550 driver $Revision: 1.90 $ 4 ports, IRQ sharing disabled serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A serial8250: ttyS1 at I/O 0x2f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A 00:08: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A parport: PnPBIOS parport detected. parport0: PC-style at 0x378, irq 7 [PCSPP(,...)] lp0: using parport0 (interrupt-driven).

I also enabled PNP as suggested by someone (http://gentoo-wiki.com/HP_Deskjet_720C_with_CUPS): $ grep -i pnp /boot/config-2.6.17-gentoo-r4 # CONFIG_IP_PNP is not set CONFIG_PNP=y # CONFIG_PNP_DEBUG is not set CONFIG_PNPACPI=y # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEPNP is not set CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_PNP=y $ grep -i par /boot/config-2.6.17-gentoo-r4 CONFIG_ARCH_SPARSEMEM_ENABLE=y # CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_MANUAL is not set # CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_STATIC is not set CONFIG_PM_STD_PARTITION="" # Parallel port support CONFIG_PARPORT=y CONFIG_PARPORT_PC=y # CONFIG_PARPORT_SERIAL is not set # CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_FIFO is not set # CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_SUPERIO is not set # CONFIG_PARPORT_GSC is not set # CONFIG_PARPORT_1284 is not set # CONFIG_PARIDE is not set # CONFIG_SERIO_PARKBD is not set # CONFIG_TIPAR is not set # CONFIG_I2C_PARPORT is not set # CONFIG_I2C_PARPORT_LIGHT is not set # Partition Types # CONFIG_PARTITION_ADVANCED is not set CONFIG_MSDOS_PARTITION=y Has anyone experienced similar problems? I would like to report this a kernel bug, but since I couldn't get the previous working kernel to work this time, I can't do that. Thanks. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
