I have an older machine at home with a ECP/EPP capable lpt port. On bootup I run `lptcontrol -e` to enable extended mode, however, I recieve thousands of these messages eminating from lpt.c:788 log(LOG_NOTICE, LPT_NAME "%d: advanced mode not avail, polling\n", unit); mainly because this statement is in a loop running thru the buffer. would it be appropriate to turn off extended mode at this point, or is there a reason to leave it on for the rest of the buffer? case EINVAL: /* advanced mode not avail */ log(LOG_NOTICE, LPT_NAME "%d: advanced mode not avail, polling\n", unit); break; default: return(err); --- Mark atkin901 at NOSPAM yahoo dot com (!wired)?(coffee++):(wired);
