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 --=20 Stacey Roberts B.Sc.

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!
