[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi Johann, From your lat post, we have the same device settings in our respective kernels, so I'm totally at a loss as to the reason behind the failure of my box to pick up the parallel port:-( I'm not sure of my next move here. This printer worked a long time ago on this box when it used to be a windows (98SE) system, so I'm reluctant to consider a hardware failure. I posted a cry for help to the freebsd-hardware mailing list neverthelss, asking if anyone knows what the actual error string in dmesg means. I'll be hoping to hear from *someone* soon on that. Other than that, there's not a lot I can do with respect to progressing the issue, I'm afraid. Hopefully someone'll pick this up and run with it for us.
