Output:

Some /var/log/messages lines (scattered in log):
Sep 13 11:45:57 acct kernel: [  203.612821] lp: driver loaded but no devices
found
Sep 13 11:50:11 acct kernel: [  456.604811] TCP lp registered

Dmesg:
[   24.762672] lp: driver loaded but no devices found
[   24.871943] ppdev: user-space parallel port driver

>From the above it seems that the port on the parallel port pci card is not
being detected....but windows 7 which is dual-booted on the same machine is
printing through that same parallel port.

Can someone please help?

With best regards.
