well first, you are expecting help in approximately two and a half hours from an all volunteer list... and yelling when you don't get it. I don't know much about parallel ports anymore, but the first thing I would do is grep for "parport" in /var/log/syslog in case it shows up somewhere else. It's possible that udev is doing something tricky like moving it to a different node. Also I would ls /dev and look through that for other things that might be a parport. hth... A
