Hello, I have a Postcript Laserprinter (NEC Silentwriter 2Model 90 to be exact) and I am having some difficulties. I have Printer Parrallel support built as a module, and it loads fine. But the SuSE manual says it should be for most (since I do not have a Hercules card) on lp1. For me, using Yast to configure, I cannot even, reach the printer on lp1. Now on lp0 I try to print something and this is what happens. There is communication with the printer, and after about 10 seconds of processing it reverts back to the ready state. Running dmesg I get lp0 at 0x03bc, (polling) I used to run 0S/2 and I experienced these exact same symptoms. IBM tech support worked with me and we figured out that if I disable polling and use IRQ then everything is fine. Could this go for linux as well? I am assuming from dmesg that I am using polling here as well. Does anybody know how to change this? One other knote that baffels me. The manual says lp0 is on IRQ5 which is what I have my Sound Card configured to. Now that would explain why it is not working completely, but it would not explain why I cannot even see the printer on lp1 IRQ7 which is vacant. Any ideas would be much aappreciated.
