Could I do something similar to get linux to print with lp1 - such as 
insmod parport_pc for BOTH addresses?  I have two different printers 
attached to the same computer.  Dot-matrix for normal use, inkjet for 
printing pdf files.  If you don't specify address does linux only work 
with the first address not both?  Can you specify two addresses on one 
insmod line?  There is a third possible address I can jumper (or set in 
CMOS) with a b in it, to which my card that had problems was set (and 
parport_pc was not finding it, perhaps because it was second not first in 
line).
