Hello, I'm using Gentoo and try to make my printer work. I'm a linux gentoo user since a few month and I found the problem was coming from my motherboard, a ABIT KG7 LITE.
Apparently, in the BIOS, i configured the IO at 378, the irq at 7 and the dma at 3. so I load : modprobe -k parport modprobe -k parport_pc modprobe -k lp a file /dev/lp0 -> /dev/printers/0 is created (good sign :)) But I can't do nothing with it. When I try to print, the job is created, it stays a moment and go away, but nothing get out from my printer :( When I replace the line with modprobe -k parport_pc by : modprobe -k parport_pc io=378 irq=7 dma=3 nothing changes. I wonder how to get my LPT working. N.B.: It works under windows :( My printer is the unique reason why I keep a windoz. Please, if you have, like me, a KG7 Lite Motherboard and succeeded in making your printer work, or if you see any solution, HELP ME!!! :) Bastux -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
