The printer now makes noise but it's not happy printing noise. Still no joy Hey all, F8 will not install on my new XFX 750a SLI nFORCE motherboard. The SATA port driver doesn't seem to work correctly. I can nether intall F8 on it nor can I install F8 on my original MSI motherboard, then transfer the HD to the XFX mb. It just will not read from the SATA DVD or HD after the initial boot record is read. I've reinstalled F8 on my old MSI mb. I've got the printer working again. Now I'm going to set up all the rest of the services that I want before I try to upgrade from F8 to F9. Then I'm going to get everything working again. Then I'll install the new XFX mb, which I know works with F9, and try to get that system to work with my printer. I suppose if all that fails I'll just buy a new SATA IDE interface card, if such a thing exists, and just keep the old MSI mb. Again, I'll keep you all updated on my efforts. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

I do not know if it is a single or double port card, but it looks like a double port card. It may not show up as lp? - it may be a bit more complicated name. (Just like USB parallel devices are USBlp?.) The boot log will probably show what device(s).
