Hello,
I have an old HP9000 712/80 box which I would like to use as an
internal file/print server. The printing doesn't work. I tried
the original kernel which came with Debian, I also tried to cross
compile (on a much faster P3 600MHz) numerous kernels, and I also
tried 2.4.20-pa18 from ftp://ftp.parisc-linux.org. I tried to
permute every option regarding the printer in the kernel config
file, and in all cases, including the default Debian kernel and
the 2.4.20-pa18, I consistently cannot get the printer work.
The printer is a HP LaserJet 1100 connected to the parallel port. The
printer works fine on an Intel box, so it is hopefully not a printer
problem. Whenever I try to print from the HPPA box (even something
like "cat /etc/passwd > /dev/lp0"), absolutely nothing happens.
Here are some relevant files:

Here is the dmesg of the box. I won't break the lines so it is
easier to read.

Now one thing I found is that the interrupt count for the
printer port doesn't increase even if I send a file to /dev/lp0
or print through the printer daemon. I tried to run
"tunelp /dev/lp0 -i 0", but it complained about invalied argument
to ioctl (maybe wasn't updated since 2.2?) and it says "using IRQ 88".
Anyone has any idea how to solve this problem?
And two more questions. Is the sound card full duplex? My standard
method of determinig, "cat /dev/audio > /dev/audio" told me that
"Device or resource busy" therefore it seems it is not. Is it true?
The other question. I am using emacs, and I regularly see these messages:
Jan 8 23:52:33 hp kernel: emacs(17795): unaligned access to 0x001cdaf2 at ip=0x0008937f
Jan 8 23:52:33 hp kernel: emacs(17795): unaligned access to 0x001cdaf2 at ip=0x0008930b
What are they?
TIA, Vilmos
