Second parallel port configuration

[Jeff Hanson]

	I have been trying to talk to a second parallel port on my 
	machine. I am running Interactive 2.0.1 on a Compaq 386/20.
	My problem is that I want to the second parallel port as a
	'raw' port in which I am only concerned with the data lines.
	I would like to be able to send a bit pattern to the port 
	to manipulate the lines. I have written a small program to
	access the port (/dev/lp2) but I keep getting a failure to
	open it with errno 6 (No such device). Using sysadm to add
	another printer, it tells me that I can use /dev/lp2 and
	I have added a printer on that device but still I cannot 
	access /dev/lp2. So my questions are:

		1.) How can I use the existing lp driver to access
		/dev/lp2 as stated above?

		2.) Do I need to change any configuration files to
		make it available(i.e. sdevice or mdevice or even
		/usr/spool/lp/? )?

		3.) Will the device connected to the port need to have
		any intelligence? Meaning are there any lines I need to
		hold high and such?

Here is some info on my current state of my system.

ls -l /dev/lp*

crw-rw-rw-   1 root     root       7,  1 Sep 18 17:28 /dev/lp
crw-rw-rw-   1 root     root       7,  0 Sep 19 10:14 /dev/lp0
crw-rw-rw-   1 root     root       7,  1 Sep 18 17:28 /dev/lp1
crw-rw-rw-   1 root     root       7,  2 Sep 18 17:28 /dev/lp2

/etc/conf/sdevice.d/lp

lp	Y	1	3	1	7	378	37f	0	0

/etc/conf/cf.d/mdevice
              .                                          .
              .                                          .
              .                                          .
lp	Iocrwi	iHc		lp	0	7	1	2	-1
              .                                          .
              .                                          .
              .                                          .

Also, yes the jumpers on the board are set for it to be used as a 
second parallel port.

Thanx in advance ,
