- Stock kernel or rolled your own?
- What do you see
- when you do "cat /proc/ioports|grep parport"?
- in /var/log/dmesg? Search for the word parport.
Don't expect to see anything in /proc/interrupts! This confused
me for a week, until some kind soul told me that you'll only
see parport connected to IRQ7 when you are actually printing...
