Hello,
  This might be off topic, but I hope someone can answer a question 
for me. Is there any documentation on parport.h parport_pc.h.  I seem to 
get err's when I try to use either of them.
Do you have to link to a lib? I am not shere I am trying to learn more 
about devices and such. Any help will be appreciated.
   

You might try Documentation/parport.txt and
Documentation/parport-lowlevel.txt in the kernel source tree.
Your question is a bit vague. What are you trying to do? What errors
do you get?
Shots in the dark: Have you got "Support for user space parallel port
drivers" (CONFIG_PPDEV) enabled in your kernel config? Have you
installed/played with libieee1284/libieee1284-dev?

Thanks for the reply,
   Really all I am doing is learning more about device drivers and 
such. So to learn I am reinventing the wheel and writing a cheap little 
printer driver just to get a hold of things. Yes my question was vague, 
I was up late that night so I was not all there ;). Yes all the correct 
parport modules are loaded. and about the libieee1284/libieee1284-dev, 
no I will check it out thanks. And Eric thanks for the mailing lists I 
will check those out also thanks for the help.
