Not on my man page it doesn't
Despite the fact that at install time I gave the command line parameters
for lp (lp port=0x378, irq=7) and this was accepted as 'installation
successful', I see at boot time references to 'polling'
I had tried to add this line
lp=0x278,5378,7 (note second port, have now stuck in LPT2 card)
but when I run lilo after editing this in it comes up with 'syntax error'
for this line (this as suggested in BootPrompt-HOWTO)
Am I worrying about something that I need not? In fact LPT2 was
primarily intended for a dos programme (printer normally loaded with
invoice paper) but thought OK add it in to Linux. Don't know what
polling is.
