> I know this is off-topic/linux, but how does one rig up two lpt ports >in a single PC. > accuire a multi io (IDE) card from the scrap shop or a friendly neighbour hood hardware vendor, enable the parallel port only, the jumpers are used for this, u require a ISA slot for this junk. then all will be the same, try to use this for printer as this is considered to be a bit slower than the one that is integrated to the MB. so if you plan to use a parport, scanner that may be connected to lp0. I don't think u need an additonal parport for interfacing a scanner, unless you have two printers on the same machine. I have been using LG Scanworks and HP 4L cascaded for more than an year and linux, win 95/98/NT does not complain. ============================================== Jiju Thomas Mathew check me at http://digitel.webjump.com Linux registered user #154193 -------------------------------------------------------------------- The Linux India Mailing List Archives are now available.
