Hi all,
I can't get it to work at all!

This do i see in messages:

parport0: PC-style at 0x378, irq 7 [SPP,PS2,EPP,ECPEPP,ECPPS2]
parport1: PC-style at 0x3bc, irq 5 [SPP,PS2]
-- looks ok to me
lp0: using parport0 (interrupt-driven).
and later lp0 out of paper
-- Uh?? lots of paper in the proprinter!
lpc> status
lp:
queuing is enabled
printing is enabled
2 entries in spool area
lp is ready and printing
lpc> q

in the syslog:
NET3 PLIP version 2.3-parport gniibe@mri.co.jp
plip1: Parallel port at 0x3bc, using IRQ 5
ifconfig:
plip1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr FC:FC:AC:10:01:01

proc/cmdline: parport=0x378,7 parport=0x3bc,5
in the beginning of my rc.inet1, I have:
# Load parport
/sbin/insmod lp parport=0
/sbin/insmod plip parport=1
and later:
/sbin/ifconfig plip1 172.16.1.1 pointopoint 172.16.1.2 irq 05 arp netmask 255.255.255.0

Can somebody point to me what is wrong here?

use laplink between my pc(lpt1) and my laptop.
