Parallel Printer Port

Post by Russel » Thu, 06 Apr 2000 04:00:00



I want to print in linux, I've used printtool, printtool shows that nothing
is being detecting on my parallel port, which is where my printer is, how do
i get linux to recognize my parallel port.

thanks in advanced

If it's Red Hat 6.1, then I had the same problem. It's a known bug. To sort it,
add the line:

alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc

To the file  /etc/conf.modules

This should allow printtool to recognise your printer.

If you're using RH6.1, see

1. parallel printer port setup problems

Hello
I cannot use my printer on my new box (I could with the same printer on
my hp pavilion 5255), I just build a box on a qdi titanium tx
motherboard.  the // port is recognized by the kernel, but if I type ls
In the bios, I can set the port's adress to 0x378, irq 7 (default) or
0x3bc irq 7.  There are many parallel port mode (spp ecp epp 1.7 or 1.9
or ecp + epp) I think I've tried all of the settings, the kernel always
tells me that he sees the port but will always send "/dev/lp1" out of
paper to the messages.  I already tried tunelp but didn't success, thank
you for your time.
