Hi All,

I tried posting this question in the Ubuntu forums but didn't have any luck. I am trying to get a parallel port PCMCIA card (Startech) to work with my HP Pavilion laptop so I can use it with LinuxCNC. I have found that the computer seems to be unable to recognize the card. When I run a dmesg command after plugging in the card I get the following output:

[ 94.214660] parport_pc 0000:07:00.1: device not available because of BAR 0 [0x00-0x07] collisions
[ 94.214669] parport_pc: probe of 0000:07:00.1 failed with error -22

Does anyone have any possible solutions I could try? I'm getting to the point where I think I will need to pick up another computer with a built in port to make this work though I would prefer to avoid that.

Thanks for the help!
