    check what parport_probe reports the device as
    e.g. modprobe parport_probe
    I think it outputs the probe info to the console, if not then look in proc
    using 'cat /proc/sys/parport/0/autoprobe' - this may be a little incorrect!
    do a search for parport under proc to find it if this is wrong

    Subject: [PARPORT] Q: Alaris QuickVideo DVC camera in Linux

     I have Alaris QuickVideo DVC1 camera connected to parallel
    port through QuickVideo Transport (box with video an S-VHS input
    and output connected direct to parallel port with power
    supply from PS/2.

     I have another VidCAM - Parallel Port Digital Color Camera
    produced by Digital Information Technology Inc.
    (http://www.ittrek.com/vidcam.html)
    This one is direct connected to parallel port without additional box.
    It has Windows driver under the name pcam.drv.

     Are there drivers (in kernel or user space) to cope with
    picture grabing by that devices.

    Any help will greatly be appreciated.

    PS;
     I had tried both cameras as c-qcam, but I got
    /lib/modules/2.2.15/misc/c-qcam.o: init_module: Device or resource busy
    at the both times.
