[sane-devel] Installingproblem with parallellportscanner and Sane.

[Philip Moller]

Hi,

No, I didn't have ECP activated before, but I have now, after your 
advice and I have naturally rebooted my computer.
Only one problem (never ending), see here (consol-mode):

[root] # dmesg | grep parport
parport0: PC-style at 0x378 (0x778) [PCSPP,TRISTATE,EPP]
parport0: irq 7 detected
parport0: Printer, Canon S750
lp0: using parport0 (polling).

Why isn't ECP shown above? I have change it in bios ?
You have to believe me on that.  :-)

I dubbelchecked in my bios and I have this value there now :
Mode: ECP
I/O Adress: 378h
DMA Channel: DMA3

But dmesg don't agree, why?
Is there something else I must do, like reinstall the Kernel or the 
parport0 module, is there a module I have forgotten to install or what ?

Thank's for all help.

Sincerely,
Philip Moller
