Can not operate with parallel port connection.

Sicne the kenel is not modified for parallel port readback, you can not use pips780v1.4 without some change.

Note that this happens in all distributions if its kernel is not modified.

This problem can be avoided by adding option to the kernel and recompile.

[option to add]

*"category name"-> "option name"

In case of kernel2.2.x
"Character devices" -> "Support IEEE1284 status readback"

In case of kernel2.4x
"Parallel port support" -> "IEEE1284 transfer modes".,Refer to
