seit einiger Zeit nutze ich OpenSUSE 10.2 auf meinem FSC S7110. Vor kurzem habe ich mir einen Port Replikator gekauft. Dieser bietet einen Parallel Port.
Was ist denn das genau für ein Gerät? Gibt es dazu eine URL mit einer Beschreibung? Warum wird nicht der Parallelport am Rechner direkt verwendet? Falls es sich um einen USB<->Parallelport Konverter/Adapter handelt, siehe https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=264219#c1

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=185135 Aus einer Mail von mir dazu: --------------------------------------------------------------------- Regarding the parallel port: There are some bug reports about problems with the parallel port in our Novell/Suse Bugzilla. A good report to start is https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=185135 See also the other bug reports which are mentioned there. 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. For plain printing it is recommended to use the generic "Normal" or "SPP" or "Output-Only" mode and only if this doesn't work try the EPP mode. But e.g. for scanning with HP all-in-one devices 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 HP all-in-one devices, see http://hplip.sourceforge.net/tech_docs/overview.html regarding "MLC/1284.4". Note that those modes (EPP or even ECP) normally require an interrupt and ECP additionally requires DMA but in particular DMA may not work. 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 (check /proc/interrupts) and see our online documentation (package suselinux-manual_en or opensuse-manual_en) chapter "Printer Operation", section "Troubleshooting", sub-section "Parallel Ports". --------------------------------------------------------------------- Gruß Johannes Meixner -- SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5, 90409 Nuernberg, Germany AG Nuernberg, HRB 16746, GF: Markus Rex
