Description Michael Lanczak 2005-11-08 20:11:00 UTC 
The connection of the parallel port is not standard after installation of LINUX.
First you must open the data /etc/modprobe.conf and remove the commentary sign '#' in line 'options parport_pc io=0x378 irq=none,none'for driving printers on the parallel port.
You must mind, that I am a professional computer user and programer and have no problems to find such a data like "/etc/modprobe.conf" with the register with correct lines. But a normal computer user, a layman must get many problems here!
