Hi all!
I have been using 2.2pre6 for the last few days and everything works perfectly
except this bizarre new parport device which broke my printer. :(.
Any advice on how to setup the parport thing properly would be greatly
appreciated!!!
lpq says this when I try to print:
Status: cannot open '/dev/lp0' - 'Operation not supported by device', attempt
1490, sleeping 60 at 13:16:18
My lilo.conf section for this kernel is like:
image=/boot/bzImage3
label=Test3
read-only
append="aha152x=0x140,9,7,1 parport=auto lp=parport0"
I now have a /proc/parport/0 directory, which reports:
$ ls
total 0
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jan 19 13:16 autoprobe
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jan 19 13:16 devices
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jan 19 13:16 hardware
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jan 19 13:16 irq
$ cat autoprobe
$ cat devices
$ cat hardware
base: 0x378
irq: none
dma: none
modes: SPP
$ cat irq
none
