50.Sh DESCRIPTION
51This driver provides access to parallel ports.
52.Pp
53The highest bit in the minor (bit 7, or add 128) number selects
54whether to do polling or wait for interrupts.
55If no IRQ is specified in the kernel configuration, or the IRQ specified is
56not available at attach time, only the polling device may be used.
57.Pp
58The next lower bit (bit 6, or add 64) indicates the driver should
59avoid initializing the printer.
60.Pp
61The next lower bit (bit 5, or add 32) requests that the driver do
62automatic LF generation when printing CRs.
