Two or more printer ports

by steve_goa . Updated 24 years, 8 months ago

Hi..

How would I configure two or more printer ports (LPT2, LPT3..) for my Pentium PC? I want to set up a print server with samba/Linux, problem is the motherboard has only 1 parallel port built in.. Would I need to add one of those old controller cards (which used to come with a 486.. and have a lot of jumpers..)? would this result in IRQ conflicts?

Thanks in advance..
