Hi,
I just installed an aditional PCI parakllel card on my system. Spent nearly a day to get the dam thing to work and still have problems on reboot where I have to manually set the parport module to get it to work.
To find the I/O port on mine I had to use more /proc/pci to find the card & the I/O ports associated with it.
Bus 0, device 13, function 0: Parallel controller: Unknown vendor Unknown device (rev 1). Vendor id=1409. Device id=7268. Medium devsel. Fast back-to-back capable. IRQ 9. I/O at 0xc800 [0xc801]. -------^^^^^^ I/O at 0xcc00 [0xcc01].
Then change /etc/modules.conf to add in the additional port and interrupt. Located at about line 29 of the file.
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc options parport_pc io=0x378,0xc800 irq=none,none ---------------------^^^^^^
You will probably have to reboot to get Linux to see the alterations.
check to see if the parport module has been loaded lsmod
Then read the following file for more info. /usr/src/linux/Documentation/parport.txt

Hi, I'm in need of some HELP!!
I have installed a Dual Parallel PCI Card (Lava) which shows up on the PCI list (lspci -tv)
+-0f.0 Lava Computer mfg Inc Lava Dual Parallel port A +-0f.1 Lava Computer mfg Inc Lava Dual Parallel port B
What I would like to know is How do I configure these two port to run printers? I already have lp0 configured and running.
Thank you, in anticipation.

Success!!!! Sorry I didn't reply sooner but I've been a bit busy! I now have three printer ports working perfectly. The only problem I had was the it took a few re-boots over a period of days (Being as I'm running the system for real work) for the ports to become active. (i.e. to allow me to use 'dev/lp1' & 'dev/lp2') but all is now working fine. Thank you for your help.
