my printer won't print!!! I have two parallel cards, with the zip drive hooked to the second . THe problem is that the IRQs for the printers 5 and 7 are taken, and none are left over for the printer. The zip drive takes 5 and the OSS driver assigned 7 to 'soundblaster'. I tried the assignment parport_pc io=0x378 irq=6 but the printer doesn't respond. I'm going to try moving soundblaster to 8. Anyone think of a reason why it won't work?
