== 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
