Hi,
this seems still broken on at least 5.3-BETA5
The manpage now says this:
-d device
Set the mode of the printer device specified by device. The
default value for device is /dev/lpt0.
But nothing works:
# lptcontrol -p
lptcontrol: open: Device busy
# lptcontrol -p -d /dev/lpt0
lptcontrol: open: Device busy
# lptcontrol -p -d /dev/lpt0.ctl
lptcontrol: ioctl: Operation not supported
Note that there is a pause before the error message gets displayed.
There is a Scanner attached to the parallel port, disconnecting the
scanner yields the same results.
Coupled with the fact, that acpi "claims" the ppc(4) device and ignores
settings in /boot/device.hints, this is rather annoying :(
