I have a dual boot computer (Fedora Core 3/Windows XP) with a printer
attached to my parallel port. It works satisfactorily in Windows. The
following is what I believe to be the relevant bit of what dmesg says
when I boot up in Fedora (I've added the line numbers):
"1. parport: PnPBIOS parport detected.
2. parport0: PC-style at 0x378 (0x778), irq 7 [PCSPP,TRISTATE]
3. parport0: Printer, OKI DATA CORP OKIPAGE 8z
4. Trying to free free DMA1
5. pnp: Device 00:0e disabled.
6. ieee1394: Initialized config rom entry `ip1394'
7. ip_tables: (C) 2000-2002 Netfilter core team
8. ip_conntrack version 2.1 (2044 buckets, 16352 max) - 272 bytes per
conntracke100: eth0: e100_watchdog: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex
9. pnp: Device 00:0e activated.
10. parport: PnPBIOS parport detected.
11. pnp: Device 00:0e disabled.
12. lp: driver loaded but no devices found"
At line 3, my printer's being referred to correctly, but by line 12,
it's not being found.
Can anyone tell me what I should do to have my printer found?
