Here is what I did about those three: waterjet@waterjet:~$ sudo modprobe -r lp WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/emc2, it will be ignored in a future release. waterjet@waterjet:~$ sudo modprobe -r ppdev WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/emc2, it will be ignored in a future release. waterjet@waterjet:~$ sudo modprobe -r parport_pc WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/emc2, it will be ignored in a future release. waterjet@waterjet:~$ sudo ./showport 0378 0778 e 037a 077a e ~~~~~ Base @ 0x378 Extended @ 0x778 DPR: 255 DSR: 255 DCR: 255 EPPA: 255 EPPD: 255 CFA: 255 CFB: 255 ECR: 255 ~~~~~ Setting mode to EPP ECR: 255 ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Base @ 0x37a Extended @ 0x77a DPR: 255 DSR: 255 DCR: 255 EPPA: 255 EPPD: 255 CFA: 255 CFB: 255 ECR: 255 ~~~~~ Setting mode to EPP ECR: 255 ~~~~~ waterjet@waterjet:~$ Please note that for 0378 there is a change in number: Setting mode to EPP ECR: 255 And even now dmesg shows: [ 8.878612] parport0: PC-style at 0x378, irq 7 [PCSPP] Could it really be true that purchasing EPP-capable PCI add-in card would be easier?
