Topic: Printer related error message

[Sasha]

I have installed lpr-0.48 on e-smith 3.1.

It works fine printing through Samba and the printer share is available on the network.
(Manually set through smb.conf)

However each print job generates the following message on the 1st console on
top of the e-smith menu :

parport 0 : detected irq7; use procfs to enable interrupt-driven operation.

Is there a setting that must be changed in one of the conf files to rectify this ?

(I have found that installing webmin allows for a tremendous amount of tweaking
of low level settings and management for those admins who need this level. It installs very easily using the rpm available at the webmin site)

Otherwise, thank you for a great and reliable product.

Regards
Sasha

From reading Documentation/parport.txt in the linux source RPM, it looks like:

echo 7 > /proc/parport/0/irq

will enable interrupt drive operation. If this works for you, adding this
line to /etc/conf.modules should make this change permanent across reboots:

options parport_pc irq=auto
