Hi there,

I'm trying to communicate with a dongle connected on my RS6K's parallel
port using a C program. The i2c chip on this dongle provides
information through registers which I know the address. When trying to:
fd=open("/dev/lp0" ...) after having created a printer on it (generic
Parallel printer), I get whether a:

"Device not ready" for a "converged" PARALLEL INTERFACE type.
- or -
"The server link has been severed" for a "standard" PARALLEL INTERFACE
type.

Any idea to get rid of this?

The fact is this dongle doesn't react as a printer, so is there a way
to bypass this creation of "Other Parallel printer" ?

Thanks in advance...
