Parallel port driver

|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
For interrupt-driven ports:
|
|
.Cd "device lpt0 at isa? port" \&"IO_LPT1\&" tty irq 7 vector lptintr
|
|
.Cd "device lpt1 at isa? port" \&"IO_LPT2\&" tty irq 7 vector lptintr
|
|
.Cd "device lpt2 at isa? port" \&"IO_LPT3\&" tty irq 7 vector lptintr
|
|
.sp
|
|
For BIOS-probed ports:
|
|
.Cd "device lpt0 at isa? port? tty irq 7 vector lptintr"
|
|
.sp
|
|
For polled ports:
|
|
.Cd "device lpt0 at isa? port? tty"
|
|
.Cd "device lpt1 at isa? port" \&"IO_LPT2\&" tty
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
This driver provides access to parallel ports.
|
|
.sp
|
|
The driver can be configured either to be either interrupt-driven, or
|
|
to poll the printer. Ports that are configured to be
|
|
interrupt-driven can be switched to polled mode by using the
|
|
.Xr lptcontrol 1
|
|
command.
|
|
.sp
|
|
This driver replaces the functionality of the
|
|
.Xr lpa 4
|
|
driver, which is now defunct.

.Sh BUGS
|
|
There are lots of them, especially in cheap parallel port implementations.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This driver could still stand a rewrite.
