I was unable to use parport1 even after setting it to irq5 in CMOS and 
with echo.  I substituted plip1 for plip0 in the ifconfig line.
SIOCSIFADDR  no such device
SIOCSIFDSTADDR no such device

It works fine with the other parallel port (parport0, Hercules card) if I 
set the jumper on there to irq 7 and set the onboard port to irq5 in cmos.

Where do I find instructions on using plip?

I want to be able to use both ports, for printing and for plip.
It is hard to get at the backs of our computers to change cables.
