[sane-devel] Re: umax_pp works well with "port 0x378" bot not with "/dev/parport0"

	Hello,

	after reading the spec 686a datasheet, I've seen something that I think 
worth trying. Could apply the following patch to 
linux-2.4.21/drivers/parport/parport_pc.c, rebuild and install modules, then reboot.
I'd like to know what the message 'Parallel port printer control=xx' reports. You
should get it with 'dmesg | grep "Parallel"'.


	The patch:
