Hi, maybe something else claims port 0x378 (first parallel port); this can
be a printer module (lp). You can find out by
cat /proc/ioports
If you find
0378-037f : lp
try
rmmod lp
And now try again
ftmt -f /dev/qft0 status
Ok - this hint is just for troubleshooting; in fact you can PLUG IN your
printer at the parport of the drive, so using two devices on one
parallel port.
Under kernel 2.0.x, however, you can't USE both devices at the same time.
Under kernel 2.2.1 they say you CAN use a printer and a parallelport drive
at the same time by means of the parport module. Haven't tried yet,
but will do when I have more time.
Bye, Juergen.
