>From what I've been told (and had success with), as root, run winsetup,
and configure devices. Somewhere in there is a list of custom devices or
something like that. You need to configure the ecp1 device. Set the port
and IRQ to what linux reports them to be (or if you already know them).
See /proc/interrupts and /proc/ioports. Once that is set, you need to
make sure all users can use them (Should be set to usable by all).
You may need to run winsetup as the normal user too, I forget. Then start
up windows, and run add new hardware from control panel. It should detect
the parallel port just fine. Note that while windows is running, using
the parallel port, the lpd program reports in the syslog that the printer
is "on fire" and printing will not work.
I'll try to get more details if need be. There are some others here that
know it better than I.
