Hi, I have an Ubuntu distribution running on a Sun Ultra10, with kernel 2.6.15. Printing causes the workstation to crash. Here are the steps I can reproduce: 1) Inserting the module "parport_pc": I type "modprobe parport_pc", and I get the following output on the console: parport0: PC-style at 0x1fff13043bc (0x1fff13047bc), irq 7567552<7>0x1fff13043bc: F IFO is 16 bytes 0x1fff13043bc: readIntrThreshold is 8 , dma 0 [PCSPP,TRISTATE,COMPAT,ECP,DMA] parport0: Printer, Hewlett-Packard HP LaserJet 1100 This seems to be OK: the driver can communicate with the printer, since it retrieves its model string. 2) Inserting the module "lp" I type "modprobe lp" and I just get the message: lp0: using parport0 (interrupt-driven). 3) Testing the printer When I type " echo 'Hello world' >/dev/lp0 ", I get the message: lp0: ECP mode The string gets printed on the printer. Then, Linux crashes. I get no more messages. The Bash prompt never comes back. I can interact with OBP by hitting "Stop-A", and reboot the machine. I hope this report will be useful. Thanks for any help you could give me. Best regards.
