 Posted: Fri Aug 06, 2004 4:52 pm Post subject: parallel port not detected (no /dev/lp0) [solved] |
 |
|
There is a simillar thread somewhere but in that case the parport, parport_pc and lp modules were at least loading... while I can't get them to work...
I do have this:
| Code: | # Parallel port support
#
CONFIG_PARPORT=m
CONFIG_PARPORT_PC=m
CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_CML1=m
CONFIG_PARPORT_SERIAL=m
# CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_FIFO is not set
CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_SUPERIO=y
# CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_PCMCIA is not set
# CONFIG_PARPORT_OTHER is not set
CONFIG_PARPORT_1284=y |
but parport does NOT autoload, although I'm using a genkernel generated kernel 
I tried loading them manually adding in modules.autoload, and adding this to modules.conf:
| Code: | alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
options parport_pc io=0x378 irq=7 |
red somewhere it could help. But of course, there still is not /dev/lp0 or /dev/parport or something...
lp is a module too? 'cause when I modprobe lp i get "FATAL: Module lp not found."
I checked in Bios. I have:
Parallel port at 378, irq7, dma3.
Thanks a lot!

Does compiling those statically into the kernel rather than as modules help fix it?

Thank you for your promptitude!
Yes, that did some good indeed. Now, my dmesg contains:
| Code: |
parport0: PC-style at 0x378 (0x778) [PCSPP,TRISTATE,EPP]
parport0: irq 7 detected
parport0: Printer, Canon BJC-2000
|
I still have no lp0 or parport in /dev but the printer manager does now recognize this:
parallel:/dev/unknown-parallel0.
I have no idea where this "unknown-parallel0 device is, 'cause there is NOT in /dev/
So, my problem is at least partially solved...
Still, i'll wait for sugestions on how to create that /dev/lp0 before I'll add [solved] to the thread. 
Thanks, once again...

Are you using udev or devfs?
Also, can you please post the output of?

I'd rather use ls /dev than ls -la /dev. It's too large as is.

I found the solution posted by tredman2:
I had to enable
| Code: | | Device Drivers -> Character Devices -> Parallel Printer Support (CONFIG_PRINTER) |
module is called lp...
This is something that comes in top of | Code: | Device Drivers -> Parallel Port Support
|
Strange how they are spread through that config file...
Anyway, thanks again codergeek42!!
Hope this is useful to others too...
