Intel DG41MJ Not finding Parallel Port was created by brosskgm
Using Ubuntu 12.04 32bit
This is the second motherboard I've tried, and for some reason the on board Parallel port is not found in LinuxCNC.
I tried the sudo lspci -v does not show any parallel port.
The previous was a FOXCONN G41MXE Motherboard with on board port. Thought the board was bad and sent it back.
I even tried the Debian version on this one, and it never found the port.
Any ideas what to look for?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

lspci will not find an onboard port (it isn't a PCI device)
tryinstead.
try
cat /proc/ioports

Thanks. this shows
0378-037a : parport0
I have tried to set stepconf to 0x378 & 0x0378 but does not talk to the cnc machine.
Do I need to use 037a somewhere?
In the bios I have it set for bi-directional.
Thanks
Bob

0x378 ought to work.
But try "0" (which means "first parport")
When you say it "does not talk to the CNC machine", what actually happens.
What does dmesg say?

You might need to blacklist lp

That's a new one. How is that done?

Also with this being a new board, I think I'm going to start a fresh clean install to get rid of any un-needed changes made to try and get it to work with the previous motherboard.

Meant to say. When I run LinuxCNC and it come up, it does not give the toggle machine power clicker and during the Step config setup it would not move any axis when clicked to test.
I'm getting ready to do a clean install now.
