What kernel and arch is this ? >hmmm as no one else has answered.... >have you tried printing through the lpr daemon? >Or tried insmod'ing parport first as well. The sparclinux has no such options, at least not in kernels above 2.2.13 (the first kernel I installed on a sparc 5). The parallel port support is called "Sparc Bidirectional Parallel Port" and the module to load is bpp. A successful insmod should give you bpp in /proc/ioports and /proc/devices. However, I gave up on the parallel printer because it turned out it wouldn't even do a self-test page :( So now I use a network printer and can't give a success story, sorry. Greetings, Ragga
