Just when I thought I had got my parallel ports sorted!!!!! (I have one standard -lp0 and a dual pci card - lp1/2). I had need to re-boot and afterwards lp0 stopped working. After several re-boots and much head scratching, because sometimes 'lp0' worked and sometimes it didn't, I made a discovery. What I found was that in '/proc/parport/0/devices' :- When 'lp0' worked there was just one entry - 'lp' When 'lp0' didn't work there are three entries 'ppuser01','+ppuser00' and 'lp'. This raises three questions. 1 - What are these two entries (ppuser00/01)? 2 - Why do they come and go? 3 - How do I STOP them from appearing?
