[Bug 29050] Re: cupsys does not automatically detect parallel printer

[Mark W. Tomlinson]

Martin - here's some dmesg output, with comments:

mark at anduril:~$ dmesg | grep lp0 ;Before loading ppdev;
[4294689.655000] lp0: using parport0 (interrupt-driven).
mark at anduril:~$ sudo modprobe ppdev
Password:
mark at anduril:~$ dmesg | grep lp0 ;After loading ppdev;
[4294689.655000] lp0: using parport0 (interrupt-driven).
mark at anduril:~$ dmesg | grep lp0 ;After ppdev and after examing my printer's preoperties;
[4294689.655000] lp0: using parport0 (interrupt-driven).
[4294843.708000] lp0: ECP mode
[4294843.725000] lp0: ECP mode
[4294843.762000] lp0: ECP mode
mark at anduril:~$

Also, before ppdev, my printer port shows as "LPT #1"; after, it shows as "hp:/par/HP_LaserJet_6P?device=/dev/parport0 (HP HP_LaserJet_6P)".

If that's any help...
