Re: How to put parport before printer at boot?
Quoting Lance Hoffmeyer (lanceh@ibm.net):
> I was reading a HOWTO the other day on Zips and it was mentioned
that if the printer is loaded before parport (or ppa, I don't remember
which) that parport will say that the port is busy and won't recognize
the Zipdrive. I believe this is happening when I boot so I was
wondering how I change the order so that parport is loaded before my
printer? I want to do this in one of the config files so that it
happens when I boot and I don't have to do anything manually.
Please don't post such long lines.
Put these lines into /etc/modules
parport
ppa
lp
Cheers,
