I have done that: insmod parport_pc io=0x378 irq=7 then I get in dmesg 2 warnings and the message parport 0x378: "you gave this address, but there is probably no parallel port there!" After insmod parport_pc there is no more error message about 'cannot open '/dev/lp0' 'No such device or address' Doing lpr file gives some rumbling on the hd and lpq shows job done yet nothing has been printed. io=0x378 and irq=7 I got from the instructions on how to install the printer card. In bios onboard paraport is disabled. "more /proc/pci" should give me the io and irq addresses of the card, it does not. Could that mean that the card has not been detected at all by the system? Kudzu does not indicate that it had found new hardware after the card was installed.
