Hi,
I'm running Slackware 9.0, and I have a Backpack
parallel-port CD-RW driver. I also have an HP
DeskJet610C attached to the Backpack's pass-trough port.
The issue is: when cupsd is running, I am not able to
mount the cd-rw (/dev/pcd0).
The "mount /mnt/cdrom /dev/pcd0" command simply hangs
and no mountig is performed.
If cupsd is not running, mounting goes OK. If, after
mounting /dev/pcd0, I start cupsd, I am able to access
the CD, but at a very low transfer rate. If I stop
cupsd, the transfer rate returns to normal levels.
For any of the situations above, printing performance
doesn't seem to be impacted.
My parallel port is in EPP mode (I guess it's the best
mode for pcd, since I achieve higher transfer rates). My
rc.modules file contains:
modprobe parport
modprobe parport_pc
modprobe paride
modprobe bpck6 # for my pcd's model
modprobe pcd
modprobe pg # For being able to record CD's
The cause for that seems to be some conflict in the
access to parallel port. Hopefully this is a driver
config issue, and I hope someone has already faced the
same problem.
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!
