Yes, it works under Linux on my desktop [RH 8.0 / 2.4.20].

paride and bpck6 load as expected, but pcd hangs shortly after finding the
parallel port.
After crawling through my kernel configs on both machines [desktop, and
laptop] I find that my desktop has no support for the lp device, while
my laptop has lp.o compiled in.
Am I correct in suspecting that this is the problem? Should I remove
support for the lp device, and/or make it a module?
