I am currently attempting to connect an HP DeskJet 500 to my machine's parallel port. I have read through the instructions in the handbook and am encountering problems at the point where I attempt to configure the device - /dev/lpt0. I have tried each of the following lines in my kernel config file. Each time I changed the kernel config, I did the whole, config, make depend, make, make install, reboot process. device lpt0 at isa? port? tty irq? vector lptintr device lpt0 at isa? port? tty irq 7 vector lptintr device lpt0 at isa? port "IO_LPT1" tty irq 7 vector lptintr dmesg showed the following on each boot-up (the address was different for each of the different kernel config attempts, but the message was otherwise the same). lpt0 not found at 0xffffffff I attempted using lptcontrol, just to see if it would give me any useful debugging info. Here are the results: % lptcontrol -i -u 0 lptcontrol: open: Device not configured If anyone has any ideas, I would welcome some advice.
