Parallel Port Linuxcnc 2.8

Hello, I've search for about a week now for a solution but have not found one. I originally installed linuxcnc 2.7.14 Debian 7 Wheezy on my computer. I was able to get the machine connected to the parallel port and working on this version. I then installed LinuxCNC 2.8.0 Debian 10 Buster PREEMPT-RT ISO because I wanted the Plasmac feature. I wrote in the .hal file my parallel port address that was obtain through the lspci -vv command when I had version 2.7.14 installed. The issue is when I load the linuxcnc interface it says it can not find the address of the port. Also when I type the command lspci -vv I get a message saying the "command cannot be found". I am not sure what I am doing wrong. My experience with linux is very minimal. Thank you for your help.

LinuxCNC 2.8.1 Debian 10
sudo lspci -v not working "command not found"
The last working version with this command is 2.7.15
I think this is a problem with newer Debian but I have no solutions how to check the address of the PCI cards

You're right it worked and shows PCI cards. found and checked this solution www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-n...nd-not-found-418455/
Unfortunately LinuxCNC 2.8.0 Debian 10 Buster PREEMPT-RT ISO does not see these cards "Linux parallel port @ 8216 not found"
I made 2 cards with a tracksuit 0x2018
here is an old movie that the card works on an older system and the same PC

Greetings,

I have the same problem as Adam, connecting my parallel card on the latest version of LinuxCNC running on Debian 10 using this download: LinuxCNC 2.8.2 Debian 10 Buster PREEMPT-RT ISO.

Using the info in this thread and typing the "sudo lspci -v" command seems to confirm the system recognizes my card. However, none of the numbers in the output are recognized in LinuxCNC when I enter them into the StepConf utility. (i.e.  a000:2000, a000, 4010, 4000). LinuxCNC will start but gives a warning that the parport was not registered.

As was mentioned in the post the card is recognized in Debian Wheezy and LinuxCNC 2.7 using this download: LinuxCNC 2.8.0 Debian 7 Wheezy RTAI.  (Installs LinuxCNC 2.7 with instructions on how to update to 2.8)

Any help or thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks !

Jay

Here's the results of the command.

The number you should need to enter in stepconf wizard is 0x4010 or maybe 0x4000.

The number I use is 0xccf0 based on my lspci output (have never had a port issue):
