Thanks to all for help in getting printing going under 6.1 The security fix at Red Hat did the trick. Now, a related question. I've tried now for months to get RH to detect my second parallel port, with no success. This is a dual boot machine with W98. LPT2/lp1 lives at IRQ 5, io 0x278, LPT1/lp0 lives at 0x778, IRQ 7. I recently came across info on parport at http://www.cyberelk.demon.co.uk/parport/parport.txt Based on this document, I thought I could force parport detection by passing an argument at boot time. I tried the following at boot: linux parport=0x778,7 parport=0x278,5 The results are same as ever. lp0 is detected just fine, but no lp1. FWIW, lp2 is a SIIG CyperParallel Dual PCI Board. It runs fine under W98 as configured. It has a proper bi-directional parallel cable attached to it. Thanks for any thoughts.
