pmpatrick Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 Open a console, su to root and run: # mknod -m 666 /dev/parport0 c 99 0 That should create the device file which is what the mknod command is for. Alternative, if your running mandrake/mandriva - rerun the installation and select the "Upgrade" option. Don't select any new packages. Your hardware should be redected and configured.
