Description

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.
