Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] Parallel Port Device

[Bradlee L. <bra...@gm...>]

Well, that creates a device, but when I try to write to it, it just
hangs. I think /dev/lp* requires /dev/parport*. I tried creating it
using `mknod /dev/parport0 c 99 0 -m 660`, but it says "No such
address or device" when I write to it. Users who have had this problem
are finding that the ppdev module is required, but it's not installed
on Devil Linux.
