Play printer. Click Next.
3. Choose Create a new port and select Local Port from the Type: drop-down list. Click
Next.
4. A dialog box will appear that prompts you to enter a name for the new port. Type
LPTx in the box (where "x" is the number assigned in Device Manager to the port you
are adding, without a colon). Click OK.
5. Continue the rest of the printer installation process, following the on-screen prompts.
Q: I have installed the card, and a NetMos Parallel Port appears in Device Manager,
but does not have an LPT port number assigned. How can I correct this?
A: Right click the NetMos Parallel Port entry in Device Manager and choose Uninstall
from the menu. Power off the computer and re-install the card in a different PCI slot
according to the instructions in the manual.
Q: How do I install this card in Linux?
A: Once you have physically installed the card in the computer, follow the following steps
to activate the port(s) in the operating system:
1. List the resources assigned to the PCI card by typing this command:
more /proc/pci
The response will include something similar to the following, however, yours will be
different:
Bus 0, Device 11, function 0:
Serial controller : Unknown vendor Unknown device (rev 01).
Vendor id=9710, Device id=9715
Medium devsel. Fast back-to-back capable. IRQ 11
I/O at 0xc000 [0xc001]
I/O at 0xc400 [0xc401]
I/O at 0xc800 [0xc801]
I/O at 0xd000 [0xd001]
I/O at 0xd400 [0xd401]
I/O at 0xd800 [0xd801]
2. Unload the parport_pc.o module by typing in this command:
rmmod parport_pc.o
3. Reload the parport_pc.o module to include the new parallel port. The following
example assumes the resources discovered in step 1 and a built-in motherboard parallel
port with a memory address of 378 and an IRQ setting of 7.
insmod parport_pc.o io=0x378,0xc000,0xc800 irq=7,11,none
