[umax_pp_low] *** Direct I/O or ppdev unavailable, giving up *** failed to gain direct acces to port 0x378! Here's the relevant parts of /etc/modules.conf: alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc options parport_pc io=0x378 irq=7 Here's from /var/log/messages: Dec 15 20:07:06 trc2 kernel: parport0: PC-style at 0x378, irq 7 [PCSPP,TRISTATE,EPP] HELLLP! ;) Seriously, thanks for any help you can render. - Bob Niederman.
