I'm having what I think is a hardware problem. I have two parallel ports and two parallel devices: printer and scanner. However, I only seem to be able to print or scan from lpt0. (BTW for people with the Mustek EP III 600 plus, Jeff Defou's primitive linux driver works great, but you need to be on /dev/lpt0 with the scanner [or just wait for the next stable SANE port]). That is, with the printer plugged into lpt0 lptest > /dev/lpt0 works, and with the printer plugged into lpt1 lptest > /dev/lpt1 sort-of works (sometimes prints pages of 1-lines junk, sometimes does the test, sometimes needs a ff to joggle it into doing the test). Physically, /dev/lpt1 is on the motherboard and /dev/lpt0 is on an isa card. Here is the section of dmesg which has to do with parallel stuff: ppc1: <Parallel port> at port 0x378-0x37f irq 7 on isa0 ppc1: Generic chipset (NIBBLE-only) in COMPATIBLE mode ppi0: <Parallel I/O> on ppbus0 lpt0: <Printer> on ppbus0 lpt0: Interrupt-driven port plip0: <PLIP network interface> on ppbus0 ppc0: <Parallel port> at port 0x278-0x27f irq 10 on isa0 ppc0: SMC-like chipset (ECP/EPP/PS2/NIBBLE) in COMPATIBLE mode ppc0: FIFO with 16/16/7 bytes threshold ppbus1: IEEE1284 device found /NIBBLE/ECP Probing for PnP devices on ppbus1: ppbus1: <HEWLETT-PACKARD DESKJET 810C> MLC,PCL,PML ppi1: <Parallel I/O> on ppbus1 lpt1: <Printer> on ppbus1 lpt1: Interrupt-driven port plip1: <PLIP network interface> on ppbus1 -r To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
