Sorry, I should have said that the X in /dev/parportX stood for the port=20 number (maybe that was obvious :) and that Mandrake 9 did not create parp= ort0=20 because I had already created it using mknod. I deleted my /dev/parport0 device file and recreated it using a softlink,= =20 similar to how the other device files were created by Mandrake. =09# ln -s /dev/parport/0 /dev/parport0 Or something similar Cheers, Ryan.
