hi all, i'am new to module programming, i have been reading Allesandro's book - Linux Device drivers - i wrote a module looking at the parallel port specification given out there (Linux Device Drivers) . request_irq() works fine and i could generate interrupts as well by connectind pin 8 and pin 9 as mentioned in the book i.e after installing a handler. I connected my printer to the parallel port. i had read at w w w. howstuffworks . c o m - that : The computer sends an auto feed signal to the printer through Pin 14 using a 5-volt charge i sent this signal after doing a request_irq but the printer isn't responding if i set bit 14 to high ?? - request_irq succeeded. i was expecting that the printer would be responding to the auto feed signal - but it didnt. Please let me know if i have missed something... thanks for your time. cheers, Amith __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!
