Man lpt gives the info about the old lpt device (before ppbus was introduced). Man nlpt gives info about the current (3.x-STABLE) lpt device. Everything discussed in this thread is explained in that page. Also that you should use 'controller ppc0 at isa? port? tty' in stead of 'controller ppc0 at isa? port? tty irq 7' for polled ports. With the first one you wil get messages about 'stray irq 7' is my experience. The old lpt device is now called olpt. Greetings, Ronald. PS: I had the trouble of interrupt-driven/polled ports with a HP LaserJet III a few months ago. -- Ronald Klop http://node11a94.a2000.nl/~ronald/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
