Specifications - StarTech.com PCI2S1P Instruction Manual

The first port assigned will be /dev/lp0, the second will be /dev/lp1, etc. In this case, the
built-in parallel port will be assigned /dev/lp0, and the port on the PCI parallel card will be
/dev/lp1. You will need to follow a similar configuration methodology for the serial
port module: contact your documentation or an experienced Linux user for details.
Q: I am having trouble printing using a port on the PCI parallel card, but the card and
printer seem to be installed correctly. How can I fix this problem?
A: Some older printers may have drivers that may have difficulty working with virtual
ports, since they do not use specific hardware resources. To test whether this is the
case, you can try installing a newer printer on the problem port. If it prints correctly, then
it is likely a software problem: download the most current drivers from the Web site of the
printer manufacturer to see if that corrects the issue. If not, move the printer to a built-in
printer port permanently and use a newer printer with the port(s) on the PCI card. If that
is not possible, you can use an ISA-based card like StarTech.com's ISA1P that can be
hard-configured to use a specific setting. Check the documentation for your computer or
motherboard to see if you have the necessary ISA slot(s) for this solution.
Q: Is this card Mac compatible?
A: No. It is designed to be used with Intel and compatible-based computers only.
