Note: It is necessary for you to install "insmod parport.ko", "parport_pc.ko" and "ppdev.ko"
Linux Kernel drivers in virtualization environment before executing the "ppdev_test" testing
program.
In case of VMWare Player, please use the following steps as a guideline to implement the
virtualization:
(1) Make sure that the Guest OS has been installed.
(2) To set up the parallel port pass through, please enter VMWare Player's --> Virtual Machine
Setting --> VMWare Player's setting page to select /dev/parport0 as parallel port device.
(3) Open a terminal in the Guest OS and then issue the following commands to install Linux
Kernel drivers.
# modprobe parport
# modprobe parport_pc
# modprobe ppdev
4) Check that whether the /dev/parport0 exists or not. You may not find proper "/dev/parport0"
in the device list, please reconfirm the setup of VMWare Player's setting page described in
Step 2.
(5) Reboot the Guest OS.
Note: It is still necessary for you to install "insmod parport.ko", "parport_pc.ko" and "ppdev.ko"
Linux Kernel drivers in virtualization environment before executing the "ppdev_test" testing
program.
