I have not been able to get my printer recognized under linux 2.2.7 (Suse
6.1). The printer is a Canon BJ200, the computer an IBM Thinkpad 770.
The printer does work from ms-windows, interrupt and address are standard for
lpt1.
1) With the following lines in /etc/conf.modules:
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
options parport_pc io=0x378 irq=auto
(Also tried irq=7 and irq=none, but no changes in the results).
results in /var/log/messages are:
Jan 3 14:26:17 lilblue insmod: /lib/modules/2.2.7/misc/parport_pc.o:
init_module: Device or resource busy
Jan 3 14:26:17 lilblue insmod: /lib/modules/2.2.7/misc/parport_pc.o: insmod
parport_lowlevel failed
Jan 3 14:26:17 lilblue insmod: /lib/modules/2.2.7/misc/parport_pc.o:

parport_lowlevel failed
Jan 3 14:26:17 lilblue kernel: lp: driver loaded but no devices found
(btw, why twice?)
lsmod gives:
Module Size Used by
parport_probe 2824 0 (autoclean) (unused)
lp 5008 0 (autoclean) (unused)
parport 6428 1 (autoclean) [parport_probe lp]

serial 41940 0 (autoclean)
memstat 1352 0 (unused)
nls_iso8859-1 2024 1 (autoclean)
The /proc/parport directory is empty!
I suppose the following is not surprising anymore, but for completeness:
lilblue:/proc/parport # lptest >/dev/lp0
bash: /dev/lp0: Operation not supported by device
lpc status:
ascii:
queuing is enabled
printing is enabled
no entries
printer idle
lp:
queuing is enabled
printing is enabled
2 entries in spool area
waiting for lp to become ready (offline ?)
raw:
queuing is enabled
printing is enabled
no entries
printer idle
2)
Now with post-install line: in /etc/conf.modules:
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
options parport_pc io=0x378 irq=none
post-install parport /sbin/modprobe parport_pc
the results in /var/log/messages:
Jan 17 22:35:38 lilblue insmod: /lib/modules/2.2.7/misc/parport.o:
post-install parport failed
Jan 17 22:35:38 lilblue insmod: /lib/modules/2.2.7/misc/parport.o: insmod

parport_lowlevel failed
Jan 17 22:36:11 lilblue insmod: /lib/modules/2.2.7/misc/parport_pc.o:
init_module: Device or resource busy
Jan 17 22:36:11 lilblue insmod: /lib/modules/2.2.7/misc/parport_pc.o: insmod
parport_lowlevel failed
Jan 17 22:36:11 lilblue kernel: lp: driver loaded but no devices found
Does anyone have an idea what's going wrong here and how I can fix it?
thanks,
