[NTLUG:Discuss] Having trouble setting up local printer

[Dan Carlson]

You can pass parameters to the kernel to specify the parallel port addresses
and IRQs like this: lp=0x278,5,0x378,7

You can type this in on the LILO boot prompt line, or you can put it in the
"append =" line in lilo.conf, then run lilo to put it into effect.

By default the parallel port driver uses polling, it doesn't use an
interrupt.  Use the setserial command to tell the driver to use an
interrupt, and which one to use, for each port.
