Hello,
there is a little problem with parport-support in 2.2.0pre7. I have
configured lp-support as a module (which is the only way I was able to
configure it). The corresponding lines in the .config-File are:
CONFIG_PARPORT=3Dm
CONFIG_PARPORT_PC=3Dm
# CONFIG_PARPORT_OTHER is not set
and
CONFIG_PRINTER=3Dm
When I want to access /dev/lp1, I get the error-message
/dev/lp1: No such device
In /var/log/messages there are the following lines:
Jan 16 13:53:34 boltzmann modprobe: can't locate module parport_lowlevel
Jan 16 13:53:34 boltzmann modprobe: can't locate module parport_lowlevel
Jan 16 13:53:34 boltzmann kernel: lp: driver loaded but no devices found
An 'lsmod' shows the following (relevant) lines:
parport_probe 2924 0 (autoclean) (unused)
lp 4280 0 (autoclean) (unused)
parport 6444 0 (autoclean) [parport_probe lp]
(There is no line for parport_pc, which is the module for my hardware.)=20
When I give the command
modprobe parport_pc
before accessing /dev/lp0 ('parport_pc' finds the port now as lp0, not
lp1), everyting works fine.=20
