I have done this for both ports. I cannot insmod parport_pc twice (once
for each port) so I tried each one individually.
insmod parport_pc io=0x378 irq=7 (the MGA card, no irq choices)
OR
insmod parport_pc io=0x278 irq=7 (I set CMOS this way)
Still appears to be sending the cat command somewhere, takes me to a new
prompt, but the printer won't respond. I have used this model Panasonic
printer before with BL2 in a 1-parport computer.
How would I get linux working with TWO parports? The above gives me
parport0 in both cases. Neither of the parport0's works anyway.
