Summary : Parallel Printer Support
Description :
This package creates static udev nodes for the parallel ports. The
purpose is to load the "lp" kernel module automatically the first time
data is sent to the parallel port.
Since the lp kernel module can't autodetect devices, this is the only
way to load the parallel printer modules without manual intervention.
