Issue with RHEL6 with parallel port communication?

I was trying out the parallel port communication on RHEL 6 but found it not working:

#echo hello > /dev/parport0
write error :Invalid argument”.

#ll > “/dev/lp0”
/dev/lp0:No such device or address

Any idea?

What does

Code:

lsmod | grep parport

say?

If that returns nothing, can you try

Code:

modprobe parport

and tell us the output?

Cheers,
Tink
