Hi, I'm not an parport expert at all, I had just a look at the man page, so I may be wrong.

The manpage says: "Note that if you are using a Kernel 2.2.x or better, the first parallel port is named lp0 regardless of the base address.". So 0x378 is probably right. > This doesn't seem right since the old driver always found the scanner > on 0x278. Maybe with an older Kernel? The man page also states: "This backend does support parport sharing only if you have a kernel with ppdev support." Did you try without your printer? You don't seem to use the ppdev module. Did you try using /dev/parport0 instead of the port numbers? Bye, Henning
