I just committed a parallel-port-driver for lasi and asp-machines which I hacked up yesterday. This driver is mainly based on the parport_pc.c-driver and I don't have any clue, if it really works ! As Murphy's law says, my printer broke just in the moment I wanted to print my thesis last week, and so I now had to test the driver with an old 9-dot matrix-printer. The problem is, that all characters printed with this driver shows up in greek-letters, so I verified the output with the printer connected to my Intel-machine and I got the same result ! So I think the driver **may** work, but I can't test it ! Because of that it would be great to get any success or failure reports..... Helge. -- Private Note: (I hope this will be allowed here once on this list) -- Since I just finished university, I'm now searching for a good Unix / Linux / (parisc)-job near Duesseldorf / Germany.....
