<P>Hi,</P>
<P>I have a query ... Please find time to guide me out...</P>
<P>I was working around with usb-parallel converter, wrote a small driver for
the same. LINUX 2.4.20-8</P>
<P></P>
<P>I am referring to the parport driver i.e. "uss720.c".</P>
<P>````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````</P>
<P>In probe function i makea call to </P>
<P></P>
<P>parport_register_port</P>
<P>and later make a call to </P>
<P>parport_proc_register(pp);</P>
<P>parport_announce_port(pp);</P>
<P>and in Disconnect</P>
<P>parport_proc_unregister(pp);</P>
<P>parport_unregister_port(pp); </P>
<P>i am facing the below mentioned problem :</P>
<P>First time I insmod the driver and plug in the device, the parallel port on
the board is recognised as</P>
<P>/dev/lp1 and i am able to print on to this port...</P>
<P>functionality wise as of now i dont have any problem...</P>
<P>BUT, when i unplug and then plug it again, the parallel port is recognised as
/dev/lp2 and this goes on </P>
<P>as and when i plug and unplug... I want it to be recognised as /dev/lp1 how
many ever times i plug and unplug...</P>
<P>Even after i rmmod the driver, the same problem persists...</P>
<P>as of now i am rebooting the system to reset it to work again with
/dev/lp1</P>
<P>PLEASE SUGGEST ME ON THIS...</P>
<P>Thanks,</P>
<P>Ajay</P></FONT></FONT></DIV></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
