IIRC the only time I _don't_ see ppbus is if the printer is switched off when I boot (although I can't be 100% sure; it may report ppbus but, obviously, not the printer's ID string). ppc0: <Parallel port> at port 0x378-0x37f irq 7 on isa0 ppc0: Generic chipset (NIBBLE-only) in COMPATIBLE mode ppbus0: IEEE1284 device found /NIBBLE/ECP Probing for PnP devices on ppbus0: ppbus0: <HEWLETT-PACKARD DESKJET 610C> MLC,PCL,PML lpt0: <Printer> on ppbus0 lpt0: Interrupt-driven port ppi0: <Parallel I/O> on ppbus0 plip0: <PLIP network interface> on ppbus0 > thanks much, > > gary > > > > > -- > Gary D.
