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 :( Ulrich Spoerlein -- PGP Key ID: F0DB9F44 Encrypted mail welcome!
