There are some bug reports about problems with the parallel port in our Novell/Suse Bugzilla. A good report to start is bug #185135. See also the other bug reports which are mentioned there. Something seems to be fishy with the parallel port stuff in the kernels since Suse Linux 10.0. The current workaround is to experiment with various BIOS settings and explicite additional settings in /etc/modprobe.conf to find a setup, which actually works in a particular problematic case. Note that e.g. for scanning you may have to use a higher-level parport mode (some kind of fast bidirectional mode) and additionally the kernel module ppdev may have to be loaded for some software (e.g. for HPLIP and for SANE). Note that those modes (EPP or even ECP) normally require an interrupt and ECP additionally requires DMA. To activate the interrupt mode, set in /etc/modprobe.conf something like "options parport_pc io=0x378 irq=7" where io and irq must match to your BIOS settings. Make sure that the IRQ which you use for the parallel port is not used by any other stuff, see our online documentation (package suselinux-manual_en or opensuse-manual_en) chapter "Printer Operation", section "Troubleshooting", sub-section "Parallel Ports". *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 185135 *** -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
