[cups.general] Kyocera FS-920 problem

[Johannes Meixner]

Hello,

problems with the parallel port are (usually) no CUPS problems
but low-level (kernel related) problems.

There are some bug reports about problems with the parallel port
in our Novell/Suse Bugzilla. A good report to start is
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=185135
See also the other bug reports which are mentioned there.

Something is fishy with the parallel port stuff in the kernels
since Suse Linux 10.0, see
http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-linux-e/2005-Nov/1206.html

The current workaround is to experiment with various BIOS settings
and explicite additional settings in /etc/modprobe.conf to find a
setup, which actually works in a particular problematic case.


Kind Regards
