==== Configuring and Administering VMWare ==== == Solving Problems with parport under linux == Sometimes it is not possible to connect of /dev/parport0 to virtual machine. My solution under Suse 10.2 and ""VMWarePlayer"" was: ## //to secure, that /dev/parport0 is in right form// rm /dev/parport0 mknod /dev/parport0 c 99 0 rccups stop rmmod lp chmod 666 /dev/parport0 ## Then I was able to connect the dongle on ppt to the VM. Some additional informations I've found here: http://communities.vmware.com/message/68950#68950
