It found your 1st printer (lpt0) properly. It is merely stating that the definition for lpt1 conflicts, which isn't a problem if you only have one printer (at lpt0). You can get rid of lpt1, and therefore this message by one of the following: 1. At the boot: prompt, type "-c" to invoke the configuration tool, then at the config prompt type "v" to place the tool in visual mode. In the top section, uncollapse "Communications" and find the definition for lpt1. Use the "delete" key to remove lpt1 from your configuration. This definition is now in the lower section, titled "Inactive Drivers". If you ever decide to hook up a second printer, move it from the bottom section to the top, and give it a valid i/o address that doesn't conflict with lpt0, i.e., the standard adx for lpt1 is 0x278 (please note that most books use Mickeysoft/Intel convention of calling this printer port lpt2, and out lpt0, they call lpt1). 2. You could also remove the driver from the kernel, by removing it from the kernel config file in /sys/i386/conf and rebuilding the kernel.
