Same errors are written to the syslog on my desktop. I too do not have anything attached to a parallel port. Could this be some kind of emulation? Like the SCSI emulation used for CD drives in the past? I have an HP USB printer which uses usblp0: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/root# grep lp /var/log/kern.log Nov 12 11:02:31 localhost kernel: drivers/usb/class/usblp.c: usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 23 if 0 alt 0 proto 2 vid 0x03F0 pid 0x8204 Nov 12 11:03:00 localhost kernel: drivers/usb/class/usblp.c: usblp0: removed I tried to stop cupsys and/or lpd and the messages stopped when lpd was stopped. And after starting lpd again they began appearing again. So lpd appears to be the culprit. I could print fine when lpd was down (I use Cups) so I'm going to try and remove lpr from my system. Perhaps you can test this as well?
