I've went from 10.04 Lucid to wheezy and linuxcnc 2.7.7. Now my parallel port is not working. I'm using a Sherline cnc mill with Sherline controller. I have checked the bios menu the parallel port is enabled, base i/o address is 378,mode is 378 and interrupt is irq7. Are these the correct setting if not what are the correct settings. I have tried searching but cat seem to find the answer.
Thanks
Norm

What did you change? Was this just an update of LinuxCNC on the same OS, or did you reinstall everything from scratch?

Are you using the motherboards built in parallel port, or an add on card?
Are you using your old config files copied over from old to new?
What version of Linuxcnc were you running before when it was all working?

Do you still have the old config files? They should be a good starting point.
