After trying some various ideas, I ran dmesg and noticed the following message Interrupt storm detected on "irq7: lpt0"; throttling interrupt source This appears to be inline with what you are speaking of. Having said this, however, I played around with my BIOS settings and still could not get it to work. Here are the available options given. Parallel Port: Disabled Enabled Auto Mode: Output only Bi-directional EPP ECP Base I/O Address: 378 278 228 Interrupt: 5 7 DMA: 1 3 I am still playing around with combinations. Any suggestions?
