Meant to say; The onboard (built in) parallel port of a mother board isn't a PCI device so lspci -v won't show anything about it. This command should show your built in parallel port address. cat /proc/ioports | grep parport

It really would be expected to. lspci - did not return any useful information about onboard lpt dmesg did: [ 5.032598] ppdev: user-space parallel port driver [ 5.036312] parport_pc 00:01: reported by Plug and Play ACPI [ 5.036380] parport0: PC-style at 0x378, irq 5 [PCSPP,TRISTATE,EPP] [ 5.140591] lp0: using parport0 (interrupt-driven). anyway, then I tried to run Lcnc (2.9.2): Note: Using POSIX realtime PPMC: bus 0 epp_dir = 0 PPMC: bus 1 epp_dir = 0 PPMC: bus 2 epp_dir = 0 PPMC: checking EPP bus 0 at port 0378 PPMC: slot 0: ID code: 54 Univ.

PS. Wiring is OK as machine works on Lcnc 2.7 (on different/older computer). _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
