Package: libieee1284-3
Version: 0.2.10-4
Severity: important
Hello,
using this python script:
--->8---
import ieee1284
ports = ieee1284.find_ports()
for k, v in ports.iteritems():
try:
v.open()
except Exception, e:
print 'failed to open', k, ':', e
else:
print 'opened', k, 'successfully'
v.close()
--->8---
I get:

With this kernel, you need version 0.2.10-8 at least.
For /dev/port, you need to be root.
