Hi Does anyone here has already succeded in running a printer on his ultra 10 on the parallel port ? I managed to get my port recognized and even my printer seen, by removing the FIFO PARPORT stuff from the default Kernel :
With this configuration my /var/log/syslog tells me Oct 1 17:04:58 galadriel kernel: parport0: PC-style at 0x1fff13043bc (0x1fff13047bc), irq 6687552 [PCSPP,TRISTATE] Oct 1 17:04:58 galadriel kernel: lp0: using parport0 (interrupt-driven). galadriel kernel: parport0: Printer, HEWLETT-PACKARD DESKJET 710C When I try ls > /dev/lp0, nothing just happens When I try to print a test page from apsfilterconfig, the whole computer hangs, and I have to switch it off manually ! I'd like to hear about people who have managed to get their prinetr working, before spending hours and hours in obscure insmod parameters :-) Emmanuel
