[Bug 220270] New: /dev/lp0 vanishes after hwinfo --printer
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=220270 Summary: /dev/lp0 vanishes after hwinfo --printer Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Beta 2 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: kernel-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: cthiel@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de CC: snwint@novell.com I'm unable to configure my printer (HP Deskjet 710c) on openSUSE 10.2, beta2. Looking at dmesg after boot, I find this: parport: PnPBIOS parport detected. parport0: PC-style at 0x378, irq 7 [PCSPP,TRISTATE] parport0: Printer, HEWLETT-PACKARD DESKJET 710C Looks good. /dev/lp0 is there. Now I issue hwinfo --printer (or run yast2-printer, to actually configure the printer). All of a sudden /dev/lp0 is gone, and hwinfo is unable to discover the printer :( $ dmesg | grep -E '^(pnp|lp|parport)' pnp: PnP ACPI init pnp: PnP ACPI: found 15 devices pnp: 00:08: ioport range 0x290-0x297 has been reserved parport: PnPBIOS parport detected. parport0: PC-style at 0x378, irq 7 [PCSPP,TRISTATE] parport0: Printer, HEWLETT-PACKARD DESKJET 710C lp0: using parport0 (interrupt-driven). pnp: Device 00:0a disabled. parport 0x378 (WARNING): CTR: wrote 0x0c, read 0xff parport 0x378 (WARNING): DATA: wrote 0xaa, read 0xff parport 0x378: You gave this address, but there is probably no parallel port there! parport0: PC-style at 0x378 [PCSPP,TRISTATE] pnp: Device 00:0a activated. parport: PnPBIOS parport detected. pnp: Device 00:0a disabled. lp: driver loaded but no devices found $ I'll attach hwinfo output and complete dmesg momentarily.

Are you sure paralel port is present on 0x378?

Can you boot knoppix or something to confirm hardware is working? Can you reproduce the problem on vanilla kernel?
