Tim,
I have problems since upgrading from 2.2.0-pre7 to -pre8, and
also with 2.2.0-final and your patch. In 2.2.0-pre7, all ran fine.
I am running a new glibc-based SuSE-Linux 6.0 with plp 4.1.2.
Hardware is Gigabyte 686BX, 128M RAM, Parallel port ist configured
with EPP/ECP, (Ox378, irq 7). Printer is a Laserjet 6L.
Can you help me, please?
Regards,
Gerry

KMod
----
If you use kmod, you will find it useful to edit /etc/conf.modules.
Here is an example of the lines that need to be added:
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
options parport_pc io=0x378,0x278 irq=7,auto
KMod will then automatically load parport_pc (with the options
"io=0x378,0x278 irq=7,auto") whenever a parallel port device driver
(such as lp) is loaded.
Uh?
