Just ugpraded from FreeBSD 3.4 to 4.2, and I'm having trouble getting
the parallel port working. It worked fine with 3.4 via lpd, so I probably
have a configuration error I can't see.
When I boot 4.2, FreeBSD's tickling of the printer kicks out a blank
page for some reason, and printing results in "Device busy".
I suspect the fact that 4.2 doesn't detect my ppbus chipset correctly
is relevent (3.4 did). It also doesn't identify my printer whereas it did
before.
Any suggestions?
> lptest > /dev/lpt0
/dev/lpt0: Device busy.
I have:
device ppc0 at isa? port 0x3BC irq 7
device ppc1 at isa? port 0x378
device ppbus
device lpt
device ppi
in my kernel config, and my 4.2 printer boot-up messages are:
ppc0: <Parallel port> at port 0x3bc-0x3bf irq 7 on isa0
ppc0: SMC-like chipset (ECP/EPP/PS2/NIBBLE) in COMPATIBLE mode
lpt0: <Printer> on ppbus0
lpt0: Interrupt-driven port
ppi0: <Parallel I/O> on ppbus0
Note that the lpt0 message do not appear if the print is off. Note also
that there is nothing in these probes about the printer detected, despite
that it was on when I boot. In FreeBSD 3.4 (also on my system right now),
I get these boot-up messages:
ppc0 at 0x3bc irq 7 on isa
ppc0: W83877F chipset (ECP/EPP/PS2/NIBBLE) in COMPATIBLE mode
ppc0: FIFO with 16/16/16 bytes threshold
ppb0: IEEE1284 device found /NIBBLE
Probing for PnP devices on ppbus0:
ppbus0: <Hewlett-Packard HP LaserJet 4P> HP ENHANCED PCL5,PJL
lpt0: <generic printer> on ppbus 0
lpt0: Interrupt-driven port
ppc1 not found at 0x378
and my 3.4 kernel config has:
device ppc0 at isa? port "0x3BC" tty irq 7
device ppc1 at isa? port "0x378" tty
controller ppbus0
device lpt0 at ppbus?
device lpt1 at ppbus?
I've tried various tweaks to my 4.2 kernel without success.
Any suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks,
Randall
