If you want parport driver with no additional hardware and you are willing to use 2.6.x kernel version you need my 2.6 port of this driver http://www.assembler.cz/download/i2cpport26.tar.gz (i2c-pport) You need your kernel sources to be installed and your kernel needs to be partially configured. Then you will be able to compile it on your own. Hardware: just connect three wires SDA - connect to pin 14 (Auto Linefeed) SCL - connect to pin 16 (Initialize Printer) GND - connect to one of pin 18-25 You need to put your parallel port to "Standart" or "SPP" mode in bios. (be sure it is set to 0x378 address) About the module compilation, there is some short INSTALL file. I dont know how you are skilled for kernel compile. We have IRC channel on Freenode #linux-sensors unfortunatelly I will be away starting from today until start of next next week. So I cant help you with your kernel compilation. You can try to ask other people there. Or wait for me to come back. Regards Rudolf
