After re-booting I checked and indeed it has the parallel port

[karl@k5di ~]$ ls /dev/lp*

This is better than the old udev.
Yes and the printer still works. Good job somebody!
Now to get the new kernel(s) and see how they co-exist with this
udev. I had to get to where the yum would let me have a kernel. Then I
d/l the kernel-2.6.22.1-41.fc7 which didn't work at ALL with the older
udev but it booted up and I found that my USB things are now working
just fine. The gmfsk I like is still working fine.
The only thing still not working is Skype. It works with the old
kerenel and the new udev, but not with the new kernel. Skype is kind of
a problem anyway, so not a bad problem.
That's odd. I have Skype on four different 64-bit machines and two
versions of Fedora 64-bit (one Opteron/FC6, one Athlon X2/FC6, one
Opteron/F7 and one Xeon DuoCore/F7). All machines are fully updated
(F7 machines have the -41 kernel and latest udev) and Skype works just
fine on all once you sort out which switches to enable in Alsa.
Note that I have the 1.4.0.99-fc5.i586 version of Skype installed
I got my Skype from their web page and it was the one for f7 but it
stopped working with this new kernel. I gather you yum installed the one
your using and I will try to do the same.
(yes,
an i586 package on 64-bit machines running 64-bit Fedora). The older
versions did have issues. In my case, the mic was muted after hanging
up a call requiring Skype to be restarted. A minor annoyance as I
rarely made one call after another on Skype. The new version doesn't
have this issue (at least for me).

Sure good to see the udev and kernel guys get together :-)
