It looks like it's working correctly. Your parallel port is correctly probed. lpt1 lives in /dev, and won't show up in your dmesg. What should show up, however, is some output from devices connected to the parallel port, namely, your printer. If you have an entry for your printer in /etc/printcap, try printing a short text file to it. If you get "staircase" output, you'll need something like apsfilter and ghostscript to translate to PCL for you. -- Chris BeHanna Software Engineer (Remove "bogus" before responding.) behanna@bogus.zbzoom.net I was raised by a pack of wild corn dogs.
