Sorry to appear as double-post, but I wanted to supply some more info on
the MoBo set-up in an attempt to assist anyone that might take the time
to respond to my cry for help!
I check the bios settings for the parallel port here and got the
following info:-
Onboard Parallel Port : 3BC/IRQ7
ECP Mode use DMA : ECP+EPP
EPP Mode Select : EPP1.7
I double checked as well that the PnPOS settings are disabled, so I know
its not got anything to do with that. I've not had any replies to my
original post, but I'm hoping that this might jog someone's memory!
Hope to hear from list-members soon.
Stacey

Hello,
I'm trying to get an old HP Deskjet 820Cxi printer to work here at
home. In following ch. 11 of the Handbook I got to the software set uo
section where you have to check to see if the kernel supports the
parallel port interface by checking dmesg. Here's what I get:
# dmesg | grep ppc0
ppc0: cannot reserve I/O port range
# dmesg | grep ppbus
# dmesg | grep lpt*
grep: No match.
# dmesg | grep lpt0
#=20
What's the message: "ppc0: cannot reserve I/O port range" mean? From
what the handbook says I need all three to be configured in order to get
parallel printing to work with FreeBSD.
Here's what's actually in the Kernel for the parallel port section:
# Parallel port
device ppc0 at isa? irq 7
device ppbus # Parallel port bus (required)
device lpt # Printer
device plip # TCP/IP over parallel
device ppi # Parallel port interface device
#device vpo # Requires scbus and da
Not knowing (or paying attention at system install time some time ago)
about any of this, I had made the devices seen here:
# ls -la /dev/lpt*
crw------- 1 root wheel 16, 0 Apr 30 23:30 /dev/lpt0
crw------- 1 root wheel 16, 1 Apr 27 12:27 /dev/lpt1
crw------- 1 root wheel 16, 2 Apr 27 12:27 /dev/lpt2
#=20
Needless to say, the following bits of getting printing in the Handbook
will work:
# lptcontrol -i -d lpt0
lptcontrol: open: No such file or directory
# lptcontrol -p -d lpt0
lptcontrol: open: No such file or directory
#=20
# lptest > /dev/lpt0
/dev/lpt0: Device not configured.
#=20
Please help if anyone can!
Thanks,
Stacey
