Name
lp — Parallel port and its mode.
Synopsis
lp=[0|port[,port...]|reset|auto]
Specify the parallel port to use. The lp=port1,port2... format associates a
sequence of parallel ports to devices, starting with lp0. An example is lp=none,parport0, which would suppress
configuration of the lp0 device
and cause the lp1 device to use
the first parallel port.
lp=0 disables the printer
driver.
lp=reset causes the
attached printers to be reset. This option can be combined with the
port specifications.
lp=auto causes the kernel
to examine the device ID from each port to determine whether a IEEE
1284-compatible printer is attached. If so, the kernel will manage
that printer.
