What do you mean that it shows up and you can print to it?
If I do the modprobe will above, lpt1 (lp0) shows up in
both printer admin and CUPS. Otherwise not.
Why do you say "lpt1"? I have 4 lp[0-3] devices in /dev, but I have no
actual parallel port hardware.
I suspect by force loading the driver with settings like that, it will
assume there's actually a port at that address. It will be writing to
nothing.
From your original email, the card would be v00009710d00009900.
Try "echo 9710 9900 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/parport_pc/new_id".
See what shows up in the journal.
no parport_pc directory; I have a drivers directory
# echo 9710 9900 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/parport_pc/new_id
bash: /sys/bus/pci/drivers/parport_pc/new_id: No such file or directory
Was the "parport_pc" driver loaded when you tried that? Try loading the
driver with *no* parameters and then try that command again.
