Perhaps there is an issue with the parallel port: There are some bug reports about problems with the parallel port in our Novell/Suse Bugzilla. A good report to start is https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=185135 See also the other bug reports which are mentioned there. Something is fishy with the parallel port stuff in the kernels since Suse Linux 10.0, see http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-linux-e/2005-Nov/1206.html The current workaround is to experiment with various BIOS settings and explicite additional settings in /etc/modprobe.conf to find a setup, which actually works in a particular problematic case. Note that for scanning you may have to use a higher-level parport mode (some kind of fast bidirectional mode). Note that those modes (EPP or even ECP) normally require an interrupt and ECP additionally requires DMA. To activate the interrupt mode, set in /etc/modprobe.conf something like options parport_pc io=0x378 irq=7 where io and irq must match to your BIOS settings. Make sure that the IRQ which you use for the parallel port is not used by any other stuff, see our online documentation (package suselinux-manual_en) /usr/share/doc/manual/suselinux-manual_en/manual/sec.drucken.prob.html Chapter 11. Printer Operation 11.7. Troubleshooting 11.7.3. Parallel Ports By the way: Doesn't HPLIP require the kernel module ppdev to be loaded to find and/or communicate correctly with a parallel port device?
