I have the parallel port working just fine on my Ultra 5 (which is really just a flatter version of the Ultra 10). The following command shows that it even detects the printer properly: <<< server:/proc$ cat /proc/sys/dev/parport/parport0/autoprobe CLASS:PRINTER; MODEL:HP LaserJet 1100; MANUFACTURER:Hewlett-Packard; DESCRIPTION:HP LaserJet 1100 Printer; COMMAND SET:MLC,PCL,PJL; <<< Just remember that these systems have commodity PC hardware. So add the following to /etc/modules (for kernel 2.4) and reboot, or just insmod them: <<< parport_pc lp <<< No obscure settings are needed. HTH, - Matthew
