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.
