    Hello!

    I have 2 parallel ports, one with a printer and one with a
    zip (imm). I can tell lp to use parport1 (options lp parport=1), but
    this is not possible with imm. And when imm is probing the parports
    rubbish is sent to the printer, always a strange page with
    strange symbols ;-)

    Is it possible to tell imm somehow to use parport0?

    Another question:
    May 24 10:12:41 mandala kernel: imm: Version 2.03 (for Linux 2.0.0)
    May 24 10:12:41 mandala kernel: imm: Found device at ID 6, Attempting to use EPP 32 bit
    May 24 10:12:41 mandala kernel: imm: Found device at ID 6, Attempting to use PS/2
    May 24 10:12:41 mandala kernel: imm: Communication established with ID 6 using PS/2

    WHY is the connection not made in EPP mode?

    [root: ~] cat /proc/sys/dev/parport/parport0/hardware
    base: 0x378 (0x778)
    irq: 7
    dma: 3
    modes: PCSPP,TRISTATE,ECP,DMA

    Finally my configuration:
    linux-2.3.99-pre8, IOmega ZIP250, HP Laserjet 1100

    Best wishes and thanks
    Norbert
