Well, I see that lp is loaded again here, and it seems to be working. I don't recall rebooting it since last running emc. >From an lsmod output: ppdev 5259 0 parport_pc 25637 1 lp 7028 0 parport 30764 3 ppdev,parport_pc,lp emc is not running ATM, so how does this compare to your machine? And do you have the correct stuff in the .hal file? That portion should somewhat resemble this: loadrt trivkins loadrt [EMCMOT]EMCMOT base_period_nsec=[EMCMOT]BASE_PERIOD servo_period_nsec=[EMCMOT]SERVO_PERIOD num_joints=[TRAJ]AXES loadrt probe_parport loadrt hal_parport cfg="0x378 out " setp parport.0.reset-time (total up all the propagation delays here, opto's in the path will need larger values) Cheers, Gene -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
