I would suggest having a look at the 'nlpt' driver to see how access to the bus is arbitrated, and then start building the 'lp' driver as a separate animal. Please feel free to post questions about the process on -hackers or direct to me. I ought to get the ppbus mailing list back together again, as there are a number of people very interested in this. You might also want to check out the latest ppbus code, as there are some changes in there that may be of use to you. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe current" in the body of the message
