try putting the printer in interrupt-driven mode for 2.2.x kernels echo 7 /proc/parport/0/irq (where '7' is the IRQ assigned to the port in the BIOS) for 2.4.x kernels its different modprobe parport irq=7 io=0x378 (I think thats the right module, either that or maybe its parport_pc..) 7 is the most commonly used IRQ for parallel ports in my experience. also be sure nothing else is using the port lsof | grep /dev/lp nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
