I've got a vanilla clone PC (AMD 2.6) with FC3 and all updates installed. I'm running kernel 2.6.10-1.760 I'm trying to setup a Lexmark Optra S 1855 printer. I can't get kudzu to detect it. The motherboard has a built in PP. I've got it configured to use EPP +ECP, which works on my laptop. Kudzu doesn't find it. dmesg gives this: <paste begins> ... parport: PnPBIOS parport detected. parport0: PC-style at 0x378, irq 7 [PCSPP,TRISTATE] pnp: Device 00:08 disabled. ... pnp: Device 00:08 activated. parport: PnPBIOS parport detected. parport0: PC-style at 0x378, irq 7 [PCSPP,TRISTATE] lp0: using parport0 (interrupt-driven). lp0: console ready <paste ends> The "parport0: PC-style..." line changes if I change the port configuration in the BIOS, ie ECP, EPP, etc. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. It looks like Kudzu sets up the port. Is there a way to force cups to use the printer without Kudzu actually detecting it ? -- Kim Lux, Diesel Research Inc.
