[rhelv6-list] Parallel Port Support

[Michael Cronenworth]

Hello,

Since Red Hat 6 has been released, the kernel provided has not supported 
parallel ports. Unfortunately my workplace has decided to continue to 
use them as a means to use printers so it is important that they are 
supported.

I have raised this issue with the manufacturer of the parallel port and 
they claim to be in contact with Red Hat. I have found a bugzilla bug[1] 
that matches the problem and points to a knowledge base article, but it 
does not exist, yet. The issue has been around for over 6 months now and 
there is no time table for a solution that I have found. Is there anyone 
@RH that could follow up on this for me and see where it stands? Neither 
the manufacture or anyone attached to the bug has been able to provide 
me with an update.

Thanks,
Michael
